In Game 4, Central Mountain regained their intensity and soon put the contest away with a 25-13 win, leading by double digits most of the way.

Throughout the evening, Lady ‘Cat coach, Megan Ulster was able to substitute freely and often to allow her entire roster some valuable varsity playing time.

Leading the offensive effort was Elaina Eckley with 12 kills followed by Vanessa Soo with 7, Pamela Gunsallas with 5 and Noel More with 4. Kelsi Buckwalter amassed 10 aces with Soo adding 4 and Eckley adding 3 more. Madalyn Bashore had 18 assists.
