Although the first set saw the Sound's best hitting percentage of the night, the Amcats pulled away with the 25-18 win. The Sound trailed by just one point with the score 18-17, but a 4-0 Amcat run aided by two service aces from Ashley Sheehan helped secure the set for Anna Maria.

A 3-0 Five Towns run to open up the second set got the momentum back for the Sound. The momentum carried through as an 8-0 run later in the set with Jada Roberts-Duncan serving, secured the lead at 18-8 for Five Towns.

Five Towns totaled 20 kills on the evening, led by Lanasia Drain with a game-high nine kills. Libero Emily Angelastro had 20 digs and setter Jada Roberts-Duncan had 20 assists. The Sound's 12 service aces from five players kept the team in the game.
