TURNING POINT… A 7-1 run at the end of the first set gave Upper Iowa a 25-22 set victory after trailing for a majority of the frame. The Beavers had claimed a 21-18 advantage before Upper Iowa scored four in a row to take the lead for the first time since the opening point of the frame. BSU tied the game at 22-all with a kill, but the Peacocks used a point-winner from Claire Milnes, a double block from Kaitlin Niedert and Sarah Johnson, and a Beaver error to steal the first set 25-22. The momentum shift was just what the Peacocks needed to get ahead early in the second and third sets and cruise to a straight-set victory.
