The Knights hit .262 as a team, compiling only five hitting errors in the final two sets as the dynamic pairing of outside hitters Presley Hamilton and Jennifer Troxclair led the way to victory. Hamilton turned in a team-best 13 kills while Troxclair put away 12 kills and added 10 digs for a double-double.
