L'Rae White also reached double figures in kills with 11 and hit .348.

Lexi Peña, who had a career-high 21 and added five assists.
Lake Forest trailed the first set 9-8 before Robinson fueled an 11-0 run with four assists, two aces, and a kill. Knox got no closer than five the rest of the way and Robinson set up a kill by Barker to finish it off.
The Prairie Fire won the first point of set two but the Foresters took the next 10, once again with Robinson serving. The home team closed to within two on three separate occasions before Lake Forest took five of the last six points to close out the set.
The Foresters jumped out to a 10-2 lead and never trailed in set three. The margin eventually grew to 12 and a kill by
Rio Dirksen secured the victory.
