The Lady Mounties (2-4 overall) took the first set, but Lycoming (3-1 overall) fought back and controlled the rest of the match, as the team hit a hefty .464 (16-3-28) in the third set en route to the 25-20 win, recovering nicely after hitting -.154 (4-8-26) in the first set.

In the fourth set, Lycoming held a 24-16 advantage before the Mounties narrowed the margin to 24-22, which led to a Lycoming timeout. After the timeout, though, Lycoming claimed the final point to end the match.
