The Dolphins dominated the Golden Eagles in the first set, hitting .357% compared to -0.111%.
Maloney led all players with 19 kills, while tieing for the team lead in digs along with P. Sewell with 14.
Holding a 2-1 lead in sets entering the fourth, the Dolphins worked hard to earn a 26-24 match clinching victory.

A Maloney kill gave the Dolphins set point with a 24-21 lead but back-to-back points by St. Joseph's led to a CMSV timeout. The Mount dropped the next point but Maloney would smash a kill to give her side a 25-24 lead, then the Dolphins would win the match on an attack error by the Golden Eagles.
