With a trip to the semi-finals on the line, the Vanguards gave a solid performance but fell short, losing in four games to Baptist Bible College, 30-27, 25-30,18-30,18-30, and thus ending Simpson's run for another national championship.

Simpson went into the game with a 2-2 record in pool play from the previous two days.  The Vanguards end their season with a 15-17 overall record.

Earlier in the week, Amy Sipes (Sr., Big Bear, CA) was honored as a 1st Team NCCAA All-American for the Vanguards.  Brandi Klemenok was also named as an Academic All-American at the tournament.
