Wittenberg jumped on top with a nearly flawless first set. En route to a 25-16 decision, the visiting Tigers attacked at a .393 percentage while committing just one error.

DePauw played much better defense in the second set to square the match with a 25-20 victory. But Wittenberg came back to take the final two frames by scores of 25-22 and 25-23.

Senior Andrea Behling (Columbus, Ind./North) led the Tigers with 12 kills in the match, while freshman Emily Kahlig (Coldwater, Ohio/Coldwater) continued her efficient play in the middle with seven kills and a .545 attack percentage.
