The Panther jumped out to a 1-0 lead with a 25-10 victory in the first set. The Bull Dogs bounced back and played better in the early stages of the second set, but ultimately fell 25-16. North continued to gain traction and held a lead late in the third match, but the Panthers rallied and held on for a 27-25 victory in the last set and a 3-0 victory for the match. Morgan Osborn recorded 16 digs to lead the Bull Dogs (9-7). Reese Edwards had 15 digs and 17 assists, while Kennedy Horn tallied five kills and three blocks.
