Wylie led 9-8 in the first set and 8-6 in the second set before proceeding to finish each set in convincing fashion. A kill by senior Karson Barclow sparked a 16-5 Lady Pirates run to end the first set. Sophomore Keelyn Green notched a kill that jump-started a 17-9 Wylie run to end the second set.

Barclow and Green each had 10 kills in the win, while senior setter Taylor Johnson racked up 30 assists to accompany six kills.
