Against Pacific, Ohlinger recorded a then-season-high .343 hitting percentage with 13 kills to go with one service  ace and four block assists for 16.0 points.Â
In the win versus Pacific, she scored two (both kills) of the final four points in the first set as the Broncos rallied from five down to win the set. With Boise State trailing 5-8 in set two, Ohlinger tallied two kills and two block assists in a 9-0 run that put the Broncos up 14-8, they never trailed again in the set.
In the victory over CSUN, Ohlinger recorded a double-double on a team-high 16 kills and 13 digs to go with two block assists for a team-best (tied) 17 points.Â
She had five kills and two block assists in the decisive fourth set in which Boise State rallied from 24-21 down to win. She recorded a kill that made it 24-22 CSUN, then served the final four points for the win.Â
In Saturday's win over Sacramento State for the tournament title, Ohlinger was the only Bronco in double-figure kills with a team-high 17 kills while hitting a season-high .419 percent. She also had one service ace and two block assists for a team-best 17 points.
With the Broncos up 18-17 in the first, Ohlinger had five kills in Boise State's final seven points to secure the win.Â
