SHAWNEE, Okla. — Leading 13-11 in the fourth set, the outlook looked good for Southern Nazarene to pick up its first win over Oklahoma Baptist since OBU reinstated its program in 2008. Then came a 14-3 run by the Bison to close out the fourth set and then forced a fifth which it won 15-11 to take the 3-2 (23-25, 25-19, 10-25, 25-16, 15-11) win over SNU.
 
The Crimson Storm (5-5, 1-1 GAC), who have now lost 13 straight to the Bison (9-7, 3-0 GAC), were rolling into the fourth set after having hit .556 (17-2-27) in the third and lit up OBU 25-10. SNU even jumped out to a 9-5 lead early in the fourth with the final three points in that run coming off kills. The Storm led 14-13, but a service error a kill picked up enough momentum for the Bison as they cruised in the final two sets.
 
Courtney Bowie tied her career-high with 17 kills on the night as she hit .256 and added four blocks as well. Bailee Turang had 15 kills and 11 digs while McKayla Benner had 11 kills and three blocks. Abbey Bell notched her second 30-dig match this year as the senior had 33. Makenna Hunter also had four blocks while Elyse Berlin had a double-double with 44 assists and 15 digs.
 
SNU out dug Oklahoma Baptist by 36 (87-51), but the Bison forced 34 errors by SNU and out blocked the Storm 12-7.
