The third and final set finished with the Bruins leading the Owls 25-17 to take the match in straight sets.
After the game, Coach Dunwoody continued saying, "these wins gave us a lot of momentum that we're trying to build on as we take on Toccoa on Tuesday followed by four big games over the weekend."
