The Cougars cruised to a 25-14 victory with contributions from across the lineup. However, William Woods responded with a 9-0 run in the second set to seize momentum and took control of the match from that point forward.

The Cougars fall to 9-12 on the season and will look to bounce back in their next match as they continue conference play.
