Emily Scrupps led the Tiger team in kills with 12. Either the WCK defense handled many of the Tigers’ kill attempts or the girls were somewhat lacking in accuracy, as the team was successful in only 39 of its 135 kill attempts.

Grace Nelson led the team in service aces with four, and Jocelynn Hottell and E. Scrupps each had two blocks at the net.

Melloney Deife put up 29 assists with only a single error on her part.
