How It Happened

Set One:
UT Tyler had a pair of key runs to take the opening set 25-18. They opened with a 7-3 run to start the game, but LCU was able to climb back with a solo block by Kalli Dalland to give LCU a 14-13 lead. LCU didn't have the lead for long, as UTT closed the set on a 12-4 run, which included a 5-0 push by the Patriots. Maiya Pena, Hannah Callison and Mikayla Ware each had five kills for UTT, who finished with 17 in the set. 

Set Two:
Neither team had more than three-point lead until UTT went on a 3-0 run for a 15-10 lead. LCU crawled back and a Patriots attack error led to the Patriots lead cut to 17-15. UTT called a timeout and it was key, as they responded with an 8-1 run to claim the set 25-16. Ware posted another five kills in the set for UTT, who posted a second consecutive team attack percentage of .333 in the frame.

Set Three:
LCU had an early 5-4 lead, but a pair of serving aces by Saige Rivera highlighted a 6-0 run, which was part of an 8-1 surge for a 10-5 UTT lead. The closest LCU would get is 21-17, which followed a 4-0 run capped by a Kayton Genenbacher kill. Behind four kills from Ware and a trio of aces by Rivera, the Patriots would claim the set 25-19 for the straight-set win. Bickley led LCU in the set with three kills.
