The Lady Panthers claimed the three-set win in convincing style.  All three sets were controlled by Permian, with Mojo maintaining a sizeable buffer.  After jumping out to a 25-9 first set advantage, the Lady Panthers watched Odessa High try to get back in the contest in the second set.  The Lady Bronchos put their best effort toward evening the match, but the Black Cats kept the Lady Bronchos at bay in a 25-19 decision.

The final set mirrored the first set as Mojo dished out a 25-7 lashing to end the contest.  Workman and the team celebrated her reaching the 1,000 kills milestone.
