Despite incurring a 3-1 (25-23, 25-19, 17-25, 25-23) loss at the hands of Setters, the evening was one for the history books as Biro notched 15 kills en route to her 1,000th kills of her collegiate career, in turn, becoming the program's all-time leader in that category and etching her name into Griffin lore forever with a typically impressive performance. In addition to five kills and an ace, Sutton provided 37 assists and 15 digs for her fourth double-double of the season, while Trabosh racked up 35 digs, matching a career benchmark, three assists, and two aces.

Biro set the tone with 16 kills on a .368 hitting percentage (16K-2E-38TA) just two days removed from notching her 1,000th career kill.
