The first set of the match went off without a hitch, Panthers winning 25-7. Second set the team ran into some issues and lost 20-25. They bounced back though, pulling out of a hole to win the deciding set 16-14. It was a hard fought win.

Klaire Denny and Katelyn Brown both led with eight kills a piece, KK Fortunato and Sarah Connor added seven kills each. Kassidee Brown did a great job moving the ball around to all her hitters.
