Junior outside hitter Addy Brus said those efforts were a large contributor to the team’s success in the match. “The fight and pursuit on defense, led by Miya [Thomas] and Nina [Jioshvili-Ravva], helped the offense just stay super aggressive,” Brus said after the match. “It gives us all the confidence in the world.” Brus led the Bulls in scoring, tallying 17 kills and a .412 hitting percentage.
