Ellie Farmer led the Demon defense with 18 digs. Taylor Miksch led from the service line with three aces. She spoke after the match with KCII Sports about how Washington came away with the win. “It was fun. It was so much chemistry. When you watch us you can just tell. The way we were passing the ball so confidently. We all connected, instead of being three separate, pass, set, hit, it was all one motion and it all flowed well. Two years ago, we had a team where we always went to the fifth set and we always lost. So I have a little PTSD from that. This year, I’m so focused on the fact that we did not come all this way to lose. We are a different team and we’re going to close out every time. I’m glad we did!”

The Demons improved to 6-7 with the victory while the Eagles fell to 7-6.
