Hollins was led by first year middle Mandi McDade (Eustis, FL/Eustis) and her six kills.  McDade also served five aces and recorded five digs.  Ally Reed (Sterling, VA/Dominion) continued her solid play by recording three kills and 18 digs.  Morgan Russell (Peoria, AZ/Liberty) added 13 digs while Jessie Deese (Cary, NC/Apex) led the team with nine assists.

The Cougars were led by Allison Sparks and her nine kills.  Paige Aaron recorded 15 digs while setter Jesse Jones handed out 23 assists.
