The 2nd set saw Ionia come out a bit flat, and after going back & forth, ultimately dropping it 23-25. With a renewed sense of determination, the Bulldogs took to the court and finished the night strong, winning the next 2 sets and closing out the match.

At the net Senior Layla Delnay had a solo block as did Tessa Lemke and Amaya Frias.
