Marijana Bjelobrk, a freshman from Belgrade, Serbia, added six kills and three blocks, and Holly Randall, a junior from Edmond, Okla., contributed four kills and four blocks for Oklahoma City. Caitlin Chamness, a junior from Littleton, Colo., chipped in four aces.
In the first set, OCU reeled off two 6-0 runs, the last of which put the Stars ahead 24-11. Chamness served up consecutive aces to bring the Stars set point.
In the second set, the Stars came back from a 21-20 deficit with five points in a row to clinch the set. Faa'agi nailed two kills, and Randall came up with two blocks during the 5-0 run.
