Morgan Deming scored a pair of kills with a block assist, while Ava Tarsi set for five assists and defended for seven digs.

The Lakers forced 12 attacking errors by Ferris, including a block by Deming and Shea Berisoff early in the match. The Lakers took an early lead over the Bulldogs, then followed up the opposition counter with kills from Deming and Waters.

The combo scored another pair of kills in the third set, with Berisoff adding back-to-back kills midway through the third set.
