The Wildcats took their final lead at 10-9 on a kill by Zoe Irvin, but Peru State answered with a pair of points to re-grab the lead. The two teams traded points before the Bobcats broke a 13-13 tie with a pair of kills to finish the match.

Irvin led the Wildcats with 10 kills in the match, with Emma Daleen and Brawley contributing nine and eight terminations, respectively. Lauren Bloom totaled 33 set assists.

Four different players reached double figures in digs with Kyla Ellis leading the way with 19. Irvin added 18 digs and Bloom 15 digs to help them both record double-doubles. Dilan Perry garnered 14 digs. Brawley and Daleen each registered four block assists as the Wildcats recorded 11 team blocks.
