Campbell to call timeout at 12-8. The Bears then went on a 5-0 scoring run highlighted by kills from Allie Sczech and Kendal Murphy. Following that run, a kill from McGhee and a block by Andrew led the Bears to a score of 25-18 to end the first set, holding
Campbell to a .067 hitting percentage. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Set 2<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As the Bears headed into the second set, Sczech got it started. A block party ensued after the teams traded points, with Victoria Davis and Grace Carroll combining at the net to make it 8-6, Bears. The team dominated on a 9-0 run highlighted
by a kill from McGhee and back-to-back aces by Murphy, a career high, going up 15-6. The Bears continued to dominate with an 8-0 run which included another set of back-to-back aces, this time from Tehani Ulufatu. Bringing the set to a close at 25-9, Sczech
