After losing the first two sets, Stout (18-7, 1-4 WIAC) rallied in the third set for a 25-20 win behind four kills by Nelson. Stout led 24-22 in the fourth set, but the Titans managed to find a way to get past the Blue Devils and secure the win.
Lydia Kneubuehl led Stout in kills, tallying 13, and had a collegiate-best six block assists.
Steph Cannon, who leads the league in digs, finished the night with 25 digs. Cannon also had three of Stout's four service aces. Jessica Duval contributed 24 assists.
