Whitney East sealed helped with a 6-0 serving run and Central cruised to a 25-15 victory. Game two was back and forth before a string of 4-0 runs put Central in the lead 11-9. From that point on they never looked back and finished the game on a Danielle Croswell 4 point serving run to win 25-19. With all the momentum and energy the Lady Wildcats jumped out to an 8-2 lead before putting Bonnabel away 25-20 to clinch the victory.
