After dropping set one, 25-13, Alabama came back strong with a 25-16 statement win in set two. The third set was the closest set of the match, but UA came out on top by five points, 25-20. The good times continued to roll as the Crimson Tide hit a match-high .357 in the final set, winning it 25-18.

From Head Coach Rashinda Reed
"We've always been right there, and it was just so nice to see these ladies battle to the end. I'm just so proud of them. And then of course it just means a little bit more when it's a little in-state rivalry, so I think it was just really special, and it was beautiful to see everything come together."
