THE MATCH
Set One
Malone came out and set the tone early with a pair of service aces by Molly Bullion. 

Findlay rallied back, and started to take control of the set midway through. 

In the end the Oilers were able to pull away from the Pioneers for the 25-17 win.

Set Two
MU's offense got things rolling in the second set. 

With Findlay leading 10-8 Malone scored four straight points to take the lead. 

The Pioneers were able to stretch their lead out to as many as six points (20-16), and never looked back en route to a 25-19 win that tied the match at 1-1. 

Set Three
The Oilers' defense, especially their block up front, forced Malone into several errors in the third set. 

Findlay scored the final seven points of the set unanswered to pick up a 25-13 win.

Set Four
The fourth set was back-and-forth for the most part, but it was a late run by the home team that gave UF the win. 

With the set tied 19-19 the Oilers scored four straight points to grab a lead that Malone could not overcome. 

Ultimately Findlay closed out the 3-1 match win with a 25-21 win in the fourth set.

DETAILS
For the second straight game CC Gurney led Malone's offensive attack with 10 kills. That pushes her season total out to 107, and she trails Ri'Gyn Humes by just two kills for the team lead this season.
