As usual, Donner was busy in other spots on the court as well, going 30/34 on the attack en route to 10 kills. Donner also chipped in four assists on offense while posting 13 digs and two blocks on defense. Tate and Blunk were also active on both sides of the net in the loss. Tate finished with 11 assists on offense and five digs on the defensive side of things. Blunk dug out 12 Highland attacks on the evening.
