The opening set remained close throughout before the Mounties grabbed the advantage at the end, eventually winning 25-23. The home side used their biggest margin of victory in the 2nd set, winning 25-20 before closing out the match with a 25-22 win in the 3rd set.
Senior Anna Manuel led the way with 14 kills for the Mounties. Sophie Landry, who earlier in the day was named the 2021-22 ACAA Most Valuable Player, showed her all-star form with 9 kills. Kaitlyn Sears led the Seawolves with 7 kills.
The Mounties will now play in ACAA semi-final action on Thursday, March 10th. The Mounties opponent will not be finalized until after tonight's quarterfinal match between Holland (1 seed) and Crandall (8 seed).
