In the second set the Renegades moved out to a quick lead and never relented, winning it 25-19. The third set saw BC move out to a quick lead that Mt.

"We're all really, really excited," commented Penelope Zepeda, "It's a big season for us, but we're just taking this game by game and another day to practice tomorrow. We're prepared to play any team. We'll play our game, play to our standard and just be ready to compete on Saturday."
