The seventh-ranked Gray Wolves have now won 27 consecutive sets dating back to March 4.
 
"We did what we needed to do to close the regular season," head coach Greg Reitz said afterwards.  "Now we need to focus all of our energy into the postseason so we can continue playing.  We need to play clean from here forward."
