"We had a balanced attack in both games and we tried to get our passes to the middle," commented EMU coach Steve Benson. "They took advantage of our weaknesses (Dallas Baptist) in the first match but we had some big blocks by
Frances Pfister (Madison Heights, Va./New Covenant) and
Courtney Miller (Harrisonburg, Va./Eastern Mennonite) that helped us in game five."
