USI's defense kept the Lady Hawks at bay in the fourth game as the Eagles held Quincy's attack to a .039 attacking percentage behind some superb net play by Gross and senior right side hitter
Natalie Atzinger (Louisville, Kentucky). Each recorded a pair of blocks, while Probst picked up 12 of her 32 digs in the fourth and deciding game.
