Rachele Rastelli and Giorgia Walther led St. John's (16-6, 7-2) with nine kills apiece.
HOW IT HAPPENED:
Set One: St. John's jumped out to an early 10-3 lead and continued to extend their advantage to 18-8 and force DePaul to use its second and final timeout of the set.

Set Two: Trailing 8-5, the Blue Demons used a 4-0 run to take its first lead of the match at 9-8. Back-to-back attack errors from DePaul handed the Red Storm a 15-13 lead midway through the second set. St. John's rattled off a 7-2 run to widen their lead to 22-15 before the Blue Demons battled back to come within four, 23-19, and force a Red Storm timeout. Consecutive kills from St. John's gave the road team a 25-19 set two victory.
Set Three: Bailey Nelson's third kill of the evening brought DePaul within a pair while trailing 11-9. The Red Storm kept the Blue Demons at bay on consecutive swings to take a 21-16 lead and force DePaul to burn their final timeout. Back-to-back errors for the Blue Demons gave St. John's the set 25-19 and the match 3-0.
