The students started off the best-of-three match with a 25-11 win; the Staff/Faculty team battled back to take the second game, 25-16. With the match all tied, the student team started out hot with a 7-3 lead in Game 3. Strickland then entered the gym and called a key timeout, rallying the troops with some words of inspiration. "Whatever he said, worked," reported intramural assistant Jeremy Bottorf, who also provided the photos. "The Staff/Faculty team came out of the timeout with a vengeance ... to take the third and final set, 15-13, leaving the students shocked for the second straight year." Bottorf thanks all who participated, including referee Cody Goss.
