Outside hitters Sofia Maldonado Diaz and Mimi Colyer once again powered the Dallas offense, while local standout Kaylee Cox delivered another strong all-around performance.
Setter Natalia Valentin-Anderson guided the attack, and the Pulse defense took over with a commanding blocking effort to close out the match.
