Annie Reiswig led the Wolverines in kills with 28 for the day, followed by Kiersten Knoppel with 24 and Mackenzie Redner with 20. Redner tallied 13 service aces and Knoppel finished with a team-high 47 serves as Truckee served at 90 percent as a team.

Truckee lost one of its top players in the Yuba City match when senior outside hitter Krysta Murphy landed on the foot of an opposing player who flew under the net. Although Murphy injured her ankle on the play and sat out the rest of the tournament, Truckee head coach Erika Murphy said she expects her to mend quickly and soon rejoin the starting lineup.
Senior middle blocker Angelena Sahlberg was sick and also did not compete in the tournament. Even without two seniors, however, coach Murphy said she was happy with the way her team performed.
