Lorena Maia (Belo Horizonte, Brazil) played great in the opening set earning kills on all four attacks and scored a solo block that sparked Newberry's scoring run. Maia would finish the night with 10 kills and an outstanding .643 attack percentage.

The second set was similar to the first as Newberry's efficient offense gradually buried the Tornados.

Priscila Sales (Belo Horizonte, Brazil) had her best set of the night leading her team in kills (5), digs (5), and aces (3). Sales went on to total nine kills and 12 digs in the match.
