Somer Johnson added 10 kills and a pair of solo blocks for IPFW. Kendall Wienkes finished her night with 12 digs, eight kills, and a match-high three aces. Sarah Heckman made a match- and season-high eight blocks to go along with five kills. Natasha Medic aided the defensive effort with a season-high five blocks, including a career-high three solo blocks, while adding four kills.
Madison Spence led the Mastodons with 24 assists on the night while Mallory Slyder dished out 23 and made nine digs.
