Tied at four in the first a block from Colosimo and Jodi Saelua (Mililani, Hawaii) started a 6-1 run pushing the Pride ahead 9-5 early on. After Clark got a point back, a solo block from Hughes and an ace from Colosimo ignited a 12-1 run that saw Bonato record a pair of kills in addition to Springfield having three blocks for a 21-7 advantage and forcing Clark to call a timeout.
