Wilcox had the game’s last two points after taking assists from both Humble and Sicktich as LC-M won 25-12. It was much of the same in Game 2 as this time it was Shayna Sheppard who struck for three service points. After an ace, Humble set Sicktich and Elissa Tate for back-to-back kills. Livingston, who was led by Morgan Lantrip and Shelby Snyder’s three kills each, closed to within 21-14 but the Lady Bears never allowed another point in Game 2.
