Mundkowsky was one of two Belles in double figures in kills, as Kaila Garnett joined her with 13 kills. The Belles also received nine blocks from Cate Boldrick, 24 digs from Caleigh Enax and a double-double from Kayla Baer (31 assists, 10 digs). LCU had 40 kills combined from Lily Bickley (14), Aaliyah Gray (13) and Sage Chain (13). Kayton Genenbacher registered a double-double with 50 assists and 23 digs.

How It Happened

Set One:
The statistics in the opening set were more lopsided than the score, as Angelo State had a 17-9 advantage in kills. ASU won the set 25-20, as Sydney Mundkowsky and Cate Boldrick combined for 10 kills (each had five kills). LCU received seven points off attack errors and a pair off service errors in the set. LCU led 5-2 and 10-9 early, but the Belles responded from a timeout with 5-1 run for a 14-11 lead. A serving ace by Aaliyah Gray had LCU trailing 14-13, but it would be as close as LCU would get, as ASU used a 7-2 run for breathing room to claim a 25-20 set win.   

Set Two:
The Lady Chaps went crazy in the second set and turned the table on the Belles, with a 16-6 advantage in kills. LCU hit a whopping .625 in the set, while holding the Belles to a -.071 attack percentage. The tone was set early, as LCU, with kills from three different players, opened with a 7-0 lead. They also used a trio of 4-1 runs to cruise to a 25-10 set win. Bickley led LCU with five kills.

Set Three:
LCU wouldn't be able to keep the success from the second set going in the third set, as ASU never trailed in the frame. The Belles jumped out to a 7-4 lead and used a 4-0 run to extend their lead to 15-8. A pair of kills by Kiana Fallaha led to a 3-0 LCU run to cut the deficit to 15-11, and a 5-1 run trimmed the deficit to 19-17 before ASU scored the next three points to relieve the pressure. ASU won the set 25-19. Mundkowsky led the way with six kills in the set for ASU, while LCU was led by four from Fallaha.
 
Set Four:
ASU attempted a furious comeback after LCU had leads of 22-16 and 24-20 cut to 24-23, after a 7-2 ASU run. LCU was able to hold off the comeback bid and force a fifth set after a kill by Fallaha clinched the set 25-23. A pair of kills by Gray and Kalli Dalland helped LCU open the set with an 8-4 advantage. On four occasions, ASU rallied to cut the LCU lead to a one-point margin, but LCU (leading 16-15) responded with a 6-1 run for a 22-16 lead. Each team had five kills from their kill-leader in the set, as LCU received five kills from Gray and Kaila Garnett had the same for the Belles.  
 
Set Five:
ASU scored the first three points of the final set and held a three-point margin until a 4-0 LCU run gave the Lady Chaps a 6-5 advantage. The teams were tied 7-7 until a Sam Rodgers kill sparked a 5-0 run for the Belles. LCU was unable to recover from the run and dropped the set 15-10. Mundkowsky was 5-for-5 in kill attempts in the set, as ASU hit .474 in the frame.
