Inck had 16 digs, Chelsea Speaks added 11 and Bissie DenHartog had a double-double of 42 assists and 11 digs.

"Morghan, Becca and Rupia had great offensive nights, however our defense was the story, with 72 digs" said head coach Kelly Winter. "Bissie dished out some great sets tonight and ran a very smart offense. We served tough and kept them out of system most of the night. I'm really proud of the way they fought tonight especially late in the third set. We executed and dug in deep to finish the match."

The Sunbirds improved to 12-11, 7-9 in PacWest play.

Emily Papale led the Urban Knights (10-15, 6-11 PacWest) with 10 kills.
