Head Coach Jeremiah Tiffin said, "This was a great win. I am so proud of this team for how they bounced back after a tough loss on Wednesday. HTU is a really good team. They have the best offensive outside in our conference, and she tore us up. It took us until set three to do anything against her. They are a solid scrappy team and they will be a tough out in the conference tourney.
"Tonight was probably the most well-rounded effort we have had. We had contributions from all six of our hitters and both our setters did a tremendous job of distributing the ball.
"It feels good to win the regular season title for the third year in a row. We know it doesn't get us to the national tournament, so we have a lot of work left to do."
OLLU is 21-0 against Huston-Tillotson in matches since 2007.
