The Stars managed to generate just 35 total points in the match, logging 28 kills and seven total blocks while committing 15 attack errors, eight service errors and five blocking errors.
 
Sophomore outside Luke Spicer (St. Charles, Ill.) paced the Stars with a team-high 11 kills on 32 attack attempts in the losing effort.  As a team, Dominican managed to hit just .149 in the match while the Ducks, paced by Gabe Shankweiler (12 kills) and Tim Ferriter (12 kills), hit .290 in the win.
