Elly Burke added nine kills and a .615 hitting percentage as Yeniffer Ramirez had eight kills. Makenzie Montano added 34 assists and six digs. Caitlyn Tino provided a team-high 16 digs while Lauren Streets chipped in with 10.

Montano leads the MSC and is seventh in the NAIA after averaging 11.1 assists per set for the year. Grace Blomstedt has the highest hitting percentage in the NAIA at .538 and ranks 13th in blocks per set (1.2). The Blue Raiders rank second in the NAIA in hitting percentage (.353), fifth in kills per set (14.4) and 17th in blocks per set (2.3).

Campbellsville (23-6, 10-3 MSC) is fresh off a 3-0 sweep of Cumberland (Tenn.) on Tuesday. On the night, the Tigers recorded nine service aces, 36 kills with a .235 hitting percentage and five blocks.
