Here we go into Set 3 with both teams locked up in a battle where neither would back off. Again the teams were knotted up at 8-8 and again Dulles went out ahead of Magnolia leading at 20-17 despite some very handy work from Hannah Fort and Michelle Williams with a pair of kills each, and a couple of kills by Alicia Shaffer and Kelli Stewart. The DAWGS tied it up at 20-20, then jumped ahead with a Williams' block at 21-20 only to have Dulles tie things up on their own at 23-23. After the DAWGS' timeout, Williams immediately slammed a kill down for a 24-23 lead.
Lady Bulldog MB Michele Williams quickly launches one over the Lady Vikings' defenders.
There's no quit in Dulles. Maybe that's why they were last year's Regional finalists? The Lady Vikes quickly tied this one up at 24-24! Deja vu? Here we go again... Magnolia takes advantage of an error to lead at 25-24, but this time Michele Williams launches a missle from the backrow and wham.... Set 3 is in the books: Magnolia 26 Dulles 24.
