The Wildcats were led by Iyana Favor with 9 kills, Moana Reid with 24 assists, and Kendall Watson with 19 digs. The three seniors recognized were Halle Franklin, Keri Ketchie, and Tiy Gonzalez.  

Wildcats Head Coach Callie Phillips on the match: "Bob Jones is one of the better teams on our schedule. We matched up well with them in spots, but their consistent play helped them win each set. We hope to learn from the mistakes we made tonight and move forward to finish our schedule strong."
