NEWBERG, Ore. --- The George Fox women's volleyball team had an excellent showing Thursday night, as the Bruins defeated Warner Pacific, 3-1.

Recap:
After falling down 0-4 right out the gates, the Bruins could never quite catch up to Warner Pacific's attack in the first set, where they fell 20-25. However, they came back with a vengeance in the second set, winning 27-25. From the second set on, it seemed as if the Knights were worse for the wear. The Bruins surged in the third and fourth sets, propelled by two huge 6-point runs. Ultimately, George Fox claimed victory in the third set, winning 25-21 with a similar 25-22 result in the fourth, taking the match 3-1.
