The Lady Bears were in control from the opening serve, and set the tone throughout the evening.  MSU got a push from the Lady Eagles in games 2 & 3, but managed to hold off the charge and put Coppin away.

MEAC "Rookie of the Week" Esther Johnson had a career night. Ms. Johnson collected a season high 27 kills to lead the way for MSU.  Esther has 451 kills this season, leaving her 20 kills shy of the MSU all-time single season kill record of 471 set by Java Johnson in 2000.
