No Weber State player recorded more than five kills, with three players – freshman outside hitter Ciera Borho, sophomore outside hitter Mariah Kahawaii and sophomore middle blocker Audrey Hunter - reaching that total as the Wildcats finished the night with just 30 kills.
Sophomore setter Whitney Hunt had 16 assists and three digs, while junior libero McKay Tarbox had seven digs
