The Runners took command again and followed up an attack error by the Islanders with kills by Rowland and Walls to win the set and keep their winning streak.

Much to the success the team has had this season can be attributed to a deep bench. 

“The fact that if anybody is having a bad game or I need to rest somebody I have a deep bench that I could pull anybody off, and we don’t miss a lick.” Head Coach Laura Groff, who had been recently named to the San Antonio Hall of Fame class of 2011 said.
