The Thunder would drop the first set to the Saints, but would dominate the final three sets to pick up the win (21-25, 25-7, 25-15, 25-17). The Thunder would come out hot in the first set, but the Saints would battle back to take the set. A commanding second set would set the tone for the rest of the match holding the Saints to a tied for season low seven points. The middle would take control of the offense as senior, Jacey Schurle would lead the Thunder with 17 kills, while fellow senior, Hannah Beukelman would have nine. The two would also combine for 11 blocks (one solo, 10 assists). Sophomore, Ellie Wilson would record a double-double with 12 kills and 11 digs on the afternoon.
