How It Happened 
The Lady Barons fell to Bethany in the regular season finale by a score of 3-0. In the first set, the Lady Barons got off to a 4-0 lead fueled by three Bison errors. The Bisons then went on three more runs of 5,3, and 5. The Lady Barons put together their own 5 score run, and bringing them within three of the Bisons at 17-14. The Bisons would finish the third set getting two points for every time the Lady Barons scored one, and the Bisons would take the first set 25-18.
For the second set, the Lady Barons went up early again at 4-1. Once again, the Bisons answered back with a 4 score run and got back on top 5-4. The rest of the set would be back and forth, finishing 25-21 Bisons.
For the third time today, the Lady Barons came out of the set break with energy. They took an early 5-2 lead off the backs of kills from Caitlin O'Malley, Renee Antonelli, and Emma McDonald. Renee Antonelli put away three more kills in an effort to keep the Lady Barons in the competition, and give them the lead of 11-9. A combination of unfortunate errors and ace serving from Bisons' Crim, the Bisons went on an eight score run. Shortly after that, the Bisons went on another four score run. This proved to be too much momentum to overcome, and the Bisons finished off the third set with a score of 25-17, and winning the match.
