The Demons came out on top against the Rockets by a score of 3-1 on Wednesday for which the team can thank Paul Castro, who had 11 digs and six aces. She is on a roll when it comes to digs, as she's now had ten or more in each of the last four games she's played.

Meanwhile, Thunderbird beat Paradise Honors 3-1 on Wednesday.
Thunderbird had a slow start but a hot finish: after dropping the first set, they turned around to win the next three. The match finished with set scores of 23-25, 25-20, 25-22, 25-20.

Here's a few offensive stats to keep an eye on ahead of Monday's contest: Greenway has really dialed in their serving this season, having averaged 7.1 aces per game. However, it's not like Thunderbird struggles in that department as they've been averaging 9.2 aces. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
Greenway might still be hurting after the 3-0 defeat they got from Thunderbird in their previous meeting back in September. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Burke, who had 20 digs and four aces. Now that the Demons know the damage she can cause, will they be able to stop her this time? There's only one way to find out.
