The Vikings responded in the second and third sets. Hallie Lauenstein recorded 15 kills across the two, and her sister Gracie added eight.

Riding that dominant fourth-set performance, Norris carried its confidence into the fifth. The Titans entered the match 13-0 but hadn’t faced top-tier competition. They proved ready for the challenge.
