The combination of Heasley and Cutlip accounted for 22 points, 20 kills, and 10 digs, while the pint-size Cosper picked up her game even more with 10 points and seven digs.

Lady Pilot Brianna Cook smacked five kills, blocked five Paden City shots, and contributed a pair of digs to lead the charge for the Pilots, while Torey Potts chipped in with four kills and four blocks. Their Pilot teammate, Annie Turner, had a nice all-around game. She had a service ace, two kills, nine assists, three digs, and blocked two shots, while Hannah Jones got down for three digs. Dakota Earley contributed one service ace and two kills, while Brittany Conners tallied three service aces, one dig, one kill, and a block.
