Santa Barbara plays fast fast fast with many bangers. AVA relies on its strong middles and the great libero play of Haley Jacob.

We are tied at 7-7 after two AVA errors.
Becky Bekelja tries the dump but speedy Katherine Keller is there to pick it up. A net violation puts AVA back on top. Then Brown comes through with the block and Santa Barbara's lead is 9-7 as AVA calls time out. |

Breannah Bourque has a kill for AVA.
Caitlin Racich scores for SB. Now the ace from Hadley Simmons, a supreme cart wheeler, and SB goes up 11-10. Hawkins on the outside knots it. |

Racich then Bourque. 12-12.
Bourque's block helps even things at 13-13, but a second straight AVA serving error gives the lead back to SB. Cole a great block ties matters at 14s. |

Samantha Brown with the kill off the block for SB. The ball goes deep into the stands and is caught by a fan. He is made to throw it back.
