With the 2019 MCAC Men's Volleyball Championship Final still fresh in the mind of the Blazers, CMU evened things up with the Providence Pilots on Wednesday night, soundly defeating the now defending champions in straight sets, 25-16, 25-19, 25-21.

From the service line, McTavish held a hot hand for the hosts. The third-year transfer from the University of Winnipeg challenged the Pilots defenders with her accurate spin-serve, finding the court with 3 aces.
