"This match was the best match we have put together so far this season from the start to the finish," Mavericks Coach Charlene Wasson said. "Our setters did a good job of mixing up the sets and getting hitters the ball where they needed it."

Erickson had 21 kills and one block. Wasson had 25 assists and 11 kills. Simonson had seven assists.

"In this match, we looked like we just took a very long bus ride to North Dakota, got off, and tried to play," Coach Wasson said. "MonDak is extremely good from the service line which is their strength and it exposed our weakness of passing. After we settled in and got our passing down, then our game came around in the third set and we looked like our Thursday night match."

The Mavericks lost the opening set of their match 21-25 against Culbertson, but came back and won the final three sets 25-21, 25-19, and 25-16.

BaiLee McColly and Mattea McColly each had two blocks.

"Going into the match I knew this was going to be a battle," Coach Wasson said. "After the first set when we lost, we said we are only beating ourselves out there and we fixed some communication and passing errors. We got into a better flow. At the end of the second set we had an injury, that we had to make some adjustments. I was super proud of the kids who stepped into those roles, played confident and got us a victory."
