  • Jacobus delivered another kill and Lerma rattled off two service aces for a 6-3 edge
  • But OUAZ countered 5-0 and took the lead for good in the set
  • Set three saw lead changes and ties in abundance all the way to double 24
  • Tedrow and Coughlin went back-to-back with kills to conclude the ACU set win
  • Reeser pounded out a kill to start the final set

Thoughts from Coach Shelton
"I could not be more proud of this team as they kept God first, they played their hearts out and they played for their team." 

Up Next
The Firestorm now have to play the waiting game to see if their 18-8 record with matches against tough teams is enough for the NAIA to welcome them into the opening round of the postseason.  The NAIA qualifiers will be announced on Monday, November 17 at 3:00 pm (MT).
