Jessica Chittenden, another one of the four Lady Scots that earned all-conference honors, had a pair of kills during the scoring streak.

In the second set, Covenant jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead, with kills from Van Dyk and Hannah Rogers, and never trailed. Four straight attack errors from Rust gave the Lady Scots the set win. Covenant then finished off the match in the third set as they got out to a 11-3 lead and led by as many as 14 points late in the set.
