• UMW opened an early 4-1 lead in the second set before Salisbury got a pair of points on an error and Einbrod kill to make it 4-3. From there the Eagles notched three straight on kills from Kayla Browne and Lyons and a block by Claire Jenkins and Krista Rodgers to push the lead to 7-3.
• Salisbury cut the margin to 9-7, but the Eagles then rattled off seven points in a row, capped by a Browne kill and SU error to make it 16-7 UMW. After exchanging a point each, the Sea Gulls went on a run of their own, scoring the next five in a row as Sullivan's kill got it within 17-13.
