3-1 right?

 

No, fourth set tied at 10 right now.

[bierce]

Creighton on a roll again, thanks to some return errors, including a gaffe by Skinner, and us still not being alert about their setter killing instead of setting.  That is 6 on the match for her.  15-12 Creighton

[bierce]

Kahahawai just killed one.  She's out leading percentage hitter among out outside hitters today.
