Six straight serves by Abbie Fletcher put the Lady Eagles up 8-2 in the second set, a lead they would hold until Calloway tied the game at 24-24. A hit in the net by Calloway gave CFS a 25-24 lead before Calloway would do the same and knot the game up again at 25-25. Calloway scored the next two points with the game winner coming on a kill by Chaney Hill to tie the match 1-1.
Cima, Emma Alexander and Muller combined for most of the Lady Eagles hits in the third set that was highlighted by several extended rallies in the back and forth battle that led to a 25-18 win for CFS to go up in the match 2-1.
After a 3-3 tie, CFS took control of the fourth set on several kills by Cima, Wagner and Muller and steady serving from Emma Alexander to win 25-13 and take the match 3-1.
