Morgan Nash dished out 34 assists, while Bailey Rexford had eight kills. Teryn Scot and Kat Gries had nine digs each. 

Drury (9-2) had two with double-figure kills, led by Bentley Mara's 14. 

Set one saw 16 tied scores and four lead changes before Drury took a 20-19 lead and didn't look back. Set two saw three ties and one lead change, while set three saw just one tie as Drury never trailed in the set. 

The Lions will be back in action this Friday as they play host to Central Oklahoma at 6 pm inside Young Gym.
