For Armstrong Atlantic State, Gwen Clarke hit .352 with a game-high 26 kills. Allyson Ray had 18 kills while Nicole Yates had 22 digs and Hanna Segebart 50 assists.

The win against Armstrong advanced the Jags to the semifinal round where they met the host and second-seeded Lander Bearcats. The Bearcats swept the semi-final match against the Jags, 3-0.

Pacing the Jags for the second match of the day was Jessica Howard with 13 kills and a .258 hitting percentage. Amy Hunt added 12 kills while senior Jessica Lowes booked 31 assists. The Bearcats led the way with four ladies making double-digit kills; Ashley Ferry, Kay Stewart, Andrea Griffin and Kerri Sorenson with a .409 hitting percentage. Candace LaRocca recorded 48 assists and Melissa Trippany tallied 17 digs for the win.

The Jags ended the season 17-19 recording the most wins since 2000 when they went 19-18; this is also the most wins under Head Coach Amber Glass.
