SET-BY-SET
SET 1, HIGHLANDERS WIN 25-21: The Bulldogs best effort came in the first set, as 17 of their 21 points came via the kill, led by four apiece from Cecilia Stack and Molly Hackett, as well as three each from Ansley Rooks and Lexy Cole. With Radford leading the first set, 12-8, the Bulldogs went on a 4-0 run to tie things up, with the run bookended by Molly Hackett kills. After a Cole kill made it 18-17 Bulldogs, the Highlanders scored six of the next seven points to take control of the set.
SET 2, HIGHLANDERS WIN 25-8: Radford took the early lead, but the Bulldogs kept it close, as Rooks slammed home a kill to narrow the lead to 7-4. But from that point, Radford went on a 7-0 run and secured eight of the next nine points to earn control of the set. Molly Hackett had two kills down the stretch and Kailey Hackett and Peyton McClinton each had one, but it was not enough to get back into the set.
SET 3, HIGHLANDERS WIN 25-18: Radford took a big lead early, winning nine of the first 10 points, but the Bulldogs would battle back to make it competitive. With Radford holding an 18-7 lead, the Bulldogs scored four-in-a-row and eight of the next nine to narrow the gap to 19-15.
