Rachel Powell and Jordan Connolly each contributed seven kills, while Syvannah Poore dished out 22 assists to pace the offense. On defense, Kai Horta anchored the back row with 17 digs, and the Bruins totaled eight team blocks in the sweep.

Head Coach Chelsea Jones reflected on the emotional and competitive aspects of the night:

"Dig Pink is always one of the most meaningful nights of our season. It's about so much more than volleyball—it's about honoring survivors, supporting those still fighting, and coming together as a family. I'm proud of how our team played with passion and unity tonight. It was a great performance and a special evening for everyone involved."
