Bailee Williams had 16 set assists.

Wyman served 2 aces. Bailee Williams, and Krysten Garrison each added an ace.
"Unforced errors have just plagued us all year and we just need to keep getting better," continued Morgan. "We have a very tough game ahead of us either way, Ste. Genevieve and Lutheran South are both good programs. We just have to pass better and not be so tight and nervous."
Good Luck to the Lady Cats of Dexter!
