USI, which held the Pumas (8-9, 3-4 GLVC) to attacking percentages of .054 and .062 in the third and fifth sets, respectively, was aided defensively by the play of junior middle blocker Danielle LaGrange and freshman defensive specialist Kayla Heldman.

LaGrange, who had nine kills, finished with a team-high four blocks, while Heldman matched Bradbury's match-high 21 digs. Senior defensive specialist Janae Curnutt chipped in 10 digs.
