Baird added two aces and a block, completing her night with a match-high 15.5 points. Senior Wendy Burnett was also a force on the attack, earning nine kills on 20 swings and committing just a single error.
 
"I thought Amanda, Wendy and Taylor all played really well tonight," Wofford head coach Ron Sweet said. "As a team, we played error-free volleyball and executed our game plan very well."
 
Senior Bekah Dorsey was all over the stat sheet en route to her 10th double-double of the season and the 40th of her career, leading all active Terriers. Dorsey's double-double included 37 assists and 10 digs, while the senior setter also had a kill, an ace and block.

Liguori led the opening set with five kills and was error free as Wofford ran away by 13. The Terriers scored the first two points and never allowed the Bulldogs to take a single lead or even tie the score. Wofford had two separate 11-3 runs. One opened the set to put the Terriers ahead by eight, and the second turned a 14-9 match into a 25-12 set victory. Dorsey had six of her 10 digs in the set.
 
The first of Dorsey's two 13-assist sets followed. Again, Wofford never trailed, but NC A&T did tie the match twice at 1-1 and 4-4. A kill by Baird on a Dorsey assist put the Terriers ahead for good, and it sparked a 6-1 run capped by an ace from freshman Elizabeth Ouzts. A&T got back within five at 15-10, but a 5-1 Wofford run followed to put the home side up nine before the taking the set by seven and earning a two-set lead.
 
Baird, Liguori and Burnett all put down four kills in the final frame, helping Wofford to its best attacking set of the night (.407). NC A&T took its only lead of any set with the first two points, but Wofford quickly recovered with the next three and completed a 13-3 run with an ace by freshman Ellie Tallman to lead 13-5. The lead extended to 10 for the first time at 19-9, and kills by Liguori and Burnett down the stretch helped the Terriers to their first home sweep of the season.
