    Southwest battled back to 23-20 before a Haylee Sandman kill and Faith Lemon ace gave WP the set 25-20.
    The Roughriders turned the tables on WP in the second set, a 20-25 WP loss.
    Tied at 15, Southwest had two kills and an ace to take a five-point lead that the Broncos couldn’t overcome.
