The Hatters dropped the first set but went on to win the next three. When it was over, Hatter coach Jon Young had high praise for the Indians.

They made it really hard for us to score points tonight.
"Even in a tough loss, we do have some bright spots. Megan and Morgan continued to be big for us tonight. I can't praise them enough for just how much they do for us during a match. Alyssa Dallmer had a solid match and Isabel Miller was able to bring in two key blocks to end some really long rallies.
