Mojo claimed the first two sets in the same fashion.  The Lady Panthers jumped out to a quick lead and then prevented Odessa High from gaining any real momentum shift in the action.  Both teams would exchange short runs down the stretch but Permian won both sets 25-21.

The Lady Black Cats suffered a lapse in the third set, allowing the Lady Bronchos to take a 16-6 advantage.  Permian fought back but was unable to gain any serious ground or make up the difference in a 13-25 loss.

Mojo outplayed Odessa High in the fourth and final set to close out the evening with a 25-22 win.  Bridgit Smithee led in kills with 14.  Kailei Aguilar and Jackie Salinas shared in assists with 16 and 14 respectively.  Marilyn Longoria finished with 13 digs, followed closely by Garrin Coy with 12.
