• First set finished with a score of 25-16 in favor of the Knights. The Warriors had several players contribute in big ways during the set, including Kayla Zinser with five kills, and Sydney Green with four.
• Warriors came out strong in the second set, taking the point advantage early. The pace then became a back and forth between the two teams, before the Warriors went on a four-point run. FDU eventually went on a lengthy multi-point run to hold the Warriors for the remainder of the set. Brooke Leestma added four kills for her team.
• Third set began similarly to the last, with a back and forth on the scoreboard, but FDU kept the upper-hand by maintaining lead throughout, with the help of Warrior errors. Warriors gained momentum mid-way through the sets, taking advantage of FDU errors and having a multi-point run of their own, but FDU came right back to their previous pace to close it out.
