She also posted 12 digs to record her team-leading eighth double-double off the season. The senior outside hitter was at her best in helping UAA to victory in the second game with six kills in seven attempts.

Burgan, a sophomore from Anchorage's Service High School, equaled her career-best with 11 kills and set a career-high with three solo blocks. Her 10 digs also gave her the first double-double of her career.
