They bounced back by winning the next to sets in dominant fashion, recording 12 and then 11 kills in each, to come away with their first win of the day. The squad posted a .304 kill percentage in the last set, their highest during the match, to solidify their victory. 

Ashley Kistaitis led thte team with 14 kills. Kayla Reeg added 45 assists and 18 digs. Amanda Kiso continued her strong play at the net with six block assists and one solo block. 

The second match against top-ranked Webster began in a similar way with the Blue Jays dropping set one 25-23.

"We continue to show our grit and grind out five-set matches," said Madson. "We are getting to a point in the season where we are playing a lot of matches back-to-back. It takes a lot to continue to show up and perform every night at a high level."
