Second-year outside hitter Sadie Dick registered 10 kills on 26 swings (.269 per cent) to lead the Brock attack en route to winning their eighth consecutive set in their last three games.
Brock recorded a season-high 59 digs as second-year libero Aleiah Torres enjoyed a career-high 24 digs. Third-year setter Sara Rohr posted 26 assists.
The Badgers rallied whenever they fell behind, including a stretch where the Gryphons led 12-7 in the third set.
Brock worked its way back into the game as Grace Pyatt recorded a kill and threw up a fundamental block alongside Emily Foest, including a pair of service aces by Dick.
“This was a real team win. We were confident in every single person who came in, and they wanted the ball,” Dick said. “This match was important for us because it showed how well we’re connecting on a team level.”
Pyatt finished with nine kills and three blocks as Foest added 11 digs.
“We like to keep a level head. Whenever we get down a couple of points, it may show that on the scoreboard, but we don’t feel it on the court,” Dick added. “We’re confident that we’ll close the gap.”
