Key Moments

There were 13 combined ties and lead changes in the first set. 

During the second, the Pioneers pulled away late, scoring eight of the final 11 points. The run was fueled by numerous Whitman errors. Chun landed a kill and then served four consecutive times as the Pios built a 12-5 lead. Chun and Willis had six kills apiece in the set.

"Hard to put it all into words," interim head coach Kaiao Nahale-a said. "What a great team effort. I wish we could keep going. This team is playing great volleyball to end the year. What a great argument for a conference tournament."

Whitman (6-19, 4-12 NWC) took a 15-10 lead in the fourth set. Trailing by four, Chun had a kill, and Parker served the Pios to seven straight points including a match-sealing ace. Chun had two more kills during Parker's service.
