How It Happened

Set One:
LCU had a tremendous start in the opening set, and they needed every bit of it. The Lady Chaps opened the match with a 13-3 lead despite only three points coming off kills. LCU led 17-7 before DBU went on a scoring rampage. They used a 7-2 scoring run, and even though a combo-block from Chain and Sims put LCU 24-19, the Pats went on a 5-0 run to tie the set 24-24. The Pats were unable to take the lead, as Lyons had consecutive kills, with her second coming on LCU's sixth set-point serve to clinch the set 26-24. LCU won the set despite DBU having a 17-15 advantage in kills. Lyons (5) and Gray (4) combined for nine kills for the Lady Chaps, while DBU was supplied by eight kills from Van Poppel. Sims produced 11 assists in the set.    

Set Two:
LCU played from behind early in the second set. They trailed 12-8 and rallied back with a 6-2 run before eventually receiving kills from Chain and Lyons for a 17-16 advantage. LCU closed the set scoring 11 of the final 16 points in the set, including the final three (two of which came off kills from Chain) for a 25-21 set win. Chain and Froeschl co-led LCU in the set with four kills each. The set was another set won by LCU in which they were on the downside in kills, as DBU had a 16-11 advantage in kills, with Price Reeves tallying five kills for DBU.       

Set Three:
The third set was tightly played, with DBU edging LCU 14-12 before an 8-0 Patriots run provided them a 22-12 lead. LCU tried to rally back, going on a 5-2 run, but a block from Sofia Black sealed the set win for DBU at 25-17. DBU hit .485 in the frame (17 kills), with Nunes powering eight kills. Gray had the upper hand for LCU in the set, as she provided five kills on eight attacks.      
 
Set Four:
The fourth set was tied as late as 16-16 prior to Lyons producing a pair of kills to book-end a 4-1 run for a 20-17 lead. LCU led 22-18 when DBU responded with Nunes hitting two kills for a DBU 3-0 run to cut LCU's lead to 22-21. LCU regrouped with a timeout and tallied the ensuing three points, with a kill from Gray clinching the set 25-21 and the match 3-1. Froeschl led LCU in the final set with four kills. They held DBU to a .140 attack percentage in the frame.
