COLUMBUS, IN - In this battle between the nine and ten spot teams, the Bearcats emerged victorious in the five-set battle to improve their RSC record to 2-4.

IUC handed the Bearcats the last three points needed to secure the first set win, 25-18. Some momentum dropped for BU as IU Columbus took an early 6-0 lead in the second set. The Bearcats took advantage of some Crimson Pride miscues as they rally back to tie up the set score. Unfortunately, IUC took set two with a final score of 26-24 following a called timeout. The Crimson Pride extended their momentum into set three as they became just one set shy of the match winner. A fire was lit under the Bearcats after already coming off a loss this weekend, intending not to count another. BU took the fourth set with a final score of 25-22 to force a set five. The Bearcat attackers put this match away as BU came out with a 15-7 victory to earn their second conference win.
