The Mountaineers did not drop a set all weekend, improving to 14–3 overall and a perfect 6–0 in SCAC play.

Coach Jeremiah Tiffin added “Overall we are ecstatic with our weekend. We set out at the beginning of the week to not just win these matches but to also get better individually and as a group. I believe we accomplished that goal. Now we have a couple days to prepare for a tough road trip next weekend.”
