Conard was able to dominate throughout most of the first game with their strong serving game, especially from Allison Dayton, and ending with a strong finish from Evelyn Kocsondy and Lulu Barrieau. Conard won game one 25-18.

Conard coach Kerry Roller said “We served tough today. We had some mistakes at times but it was really our tough serving to the spots that we wanted to go to.”

Game two was very neck-and-neck between the two teams, with Hall having considerably strong net play from Nybol Bona. Despite the close game, Conard managed to pull through and widen their lead and close the game with a cross-court spike from Brandy Buckley, giving Conard the win, 25-21.

“We made some gritty plays, some good defensive plays,” Hall coach Elena Pevar said. “I thought that we had good energy on our bench.”
