OBU broke open a 4-3 first set with seven straight points, including four aces by Leipelt and two kills by Hamilton. The 25-13 final score matched OBU's largest lead of the set.
The Lady Cavaliers had a 17-14 lead in the second set, but OBU went on a 7-1 run to make it a 21-18 game and matched points from there.
