The Crimson played SMU and New Mexico without junior outside hitter Linda Jellison in the lineup. Jellison, a starter, was nursing a back injury.

The Crimson used strong blocking to down the Wildcats in the rally-scored fifth game of the match, winning 15-9, 17-15, 12-15, 4-15, 15-10.
"We were passing well, playing consistently and playing well as a team," Yick said.
Denniston and Lutich had 19 and 16 kills, respectively, and Lutich added 13 digs.
Jellison returned to the lineup with a strong 14-assist, 11-dig showing.
