After surrendering the first three points of the opening set, the Nor'easters built an 8-4 edge. Husson rallied to tie things at 10-10, but a winner by Rumery on the next point put the hosts in front for good. The margin was still one (16-15) before a 9-2 spurt established some separation.

In the 3rd set, the Eagles jumped out to a 7-3 lead. The Nor'easters immediately tied it up at 7-7, and five points later, Lambrese nudged UNE ahead (10-9) with her ninth kill of the match which sparked a 12-3 stretch that put things out of reach.
