Wells dropped its first set by a 25-19 score, but rebounded with a 25-20 second-set win to even the match at 1-1. The Mavericks took the third set by a 25-22 score before the Express finished strong with wins in the final two sets.

One player who helped the team rally was Sasha Lamoree, who had a team-high six service aces with four of those coming in an 8-0 start in the second set that propelled Wells to tie the match at 1-1. Lomoree also finished with a team-high 35 assists over the five sets.

Other team leaders included Lexi Carfi with 19 kills and Roosa Armstead-Lehti with 26 digs.
