Midway's offense finished the contest with 46 kills which is the most kills in a three-set match since the 2019 team put down 49 in a 3-0 win over Carlow (Pa.) on Nov. 2. They also committed just 18 miscues in their 94 attempts to finish the match with a .298 hitting percentage.

Midway's defense, meanwhile, recorded 49 digs and nine total blocks as they held the Golden Bears to a .053 attacking clip. WVU Tech carded just 22 kills with 17 errors in their 94 swings.

The opening stanza was nip-and-tuck before Midway closed the set on a 10-2 run after holding a 15-13 lead. Alysha Tullar (Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.) and Brooke Trompler (Campton, Ky.) each put down two kills to spark the rally as Midway struck first with the 25-15 win.

West Virginia Tech got off to a strong start in the second set and doubled Midway up with a 14-7 advantage. Trailing 17-11, Midway rattled off an 11-3 run to take a 22-20 lead forcing the visitors to call a timeout.

The Golden Bears got within one at 23-22, but back-to-back kills from Aubry Koester (Apple Valley, Calif.) and Trompler sealed the 25-22 win and a commanding two sets to none lead.

Midway's offense came alive in the third set where they recorded 20 kills committing just four errors in the 32 attempts to post a .500 hitting clip. Ten of those 20 kills came off the hand of Brooke Trompler who finished the match with 14 kills in 30 attempts for a .300 attacking clip.
