The game was played relatively clean at the net, with SWOSU totaling two blocks compared to one for the Savage Storm.
 
"I thought once again we made a really good team struggle tonight by serving tough and keeping them out of system," SWOSU Head Coach Josh Collins said. "We did a great job on the front row of setting a big block and making them hit around us and our back row did a good job of staying composed, allowing our offense to be very efficient in putting the ball away."
 
The victory improves the Bulldogs to 11-2 on the year and 4-0 in GAC play heading into a tri-match on Thursday in Shawnee. SWOSU will face Oklahoma Baptist at 3:00 pm before facing off against Arkansas-Fort Smith at 5:00 pm.
