Tiffany Mellette led the Aggies with 14 kills and eight digs. Junior Bridget McCaskill added six kills and 10 digs.

Friday's match saw the Aggies go from a 16-point loss in the first set to a thrilling win in the second set. The Aggies rallied from a 16-12 deficit to tie the game at 21 on an attack error by Tracy Copley. The Spartans regained the lead on a Nicole Kessner kill, but the Spartans followed that with a service error which allowed the Aggies to tie the set again.

Mellette gave the Aggies the lead off a kill from setter Amber Inman that landed just inside the 10-foot line for a 23-22 lead. After a McCaskill service error, Mellette sliced another kill between the Spartans defense for a 24-23 advantage. An attack error by Elayne Greer tied the match at 1 apiece.

But the Spartans used effective frontline play to recapture the control of the match. The Spartans recorded 11 team blocks led by Charlotte Armstead's four solo blocks. Angie Clewis added five block assists. Armstead and Copley had 12 kills apiece.
