"It's a huge accomplishment for us to go back-to-back," head coach Greg Reitz said afterwards.  "We had a really good regular season and now we need to focus on postseason play."
 
Meghan Birr (Muskegon, Mich./Mona Shores H.S.) led the Lourdes offense, which hit .306 on the night, handing out 42 assists in the three sets.  The senior setter also tallied 14 digs for her seventh double-double on the year, and fifth in her last six matches.

Defensively, Angelica Dippold (Louisville, Ky./Mercy Academy) had 18 digs while Carolyn Manley (Holland, Ohio/Springfield H.S.) added 10 digs.
 
"We served aggressively and fought off their serve well tonight," Reitz added.  "Angelica had a great match defensively."
 
The Gray Wolves saved their best offense for the final set, recording 19 kills while hitting a blistering .421 in the third set.
 
Jessica Marvis led Davenport (14-15, 8-8 WHAC) with 14 kills and hit .462 while Sami White handed out 35 assists and had 11 digs.
