According to the team’s performance, the Warriors began with energy, relying on sharp serves and disciplined defense to secure the first set. Senior leaders Lily Goyer and Kara Stigter led the offense, each recording six kills to maintain West’s balanced and aggressive attack. Providence regrouped to take the second set, but the Warriors remained steadfast, forcing a decisive third frame.
