After the first set, the Lady Panthers used their momentum to take the next two 25-15 and 25-19.
"That's the crazy thing about volleyball, the momentum can switch just like that," Benton Coach Brandy Chumley said snapping her fingers.

Benton’s Royal players celebrated the end of its 2011-12 season with its fourth annual awards program — the Ben-Tonys — on Saturday night.
"Nobody's Business," an original play by Benton physician Sam Taggart, was the big winner for the year.
The play — written, produced and directed by Taggart — won Ben-Tonys for best show and best director and tied for best set with the Neil Simon comedy "Barefoot in the Park."
