How It Happened
  • Bridgewater stepped in front to a 5-3 advantage to open the match after an AU attack error, but Averett quickly flipped the switch and raced to an 11-7 lead. The Eagles slowly chipped away and pulled back even at 12-12 after a kill from Reagan Stoop. The Eagles took the lead back a few points later as a kill from Brooklyn Williams made it 14-13. BC led by as much as 20-17 late but Averett closed in and had a set point that was saved by a kill from Gabby Atwell. A pair of aces from Stoop quickly gave the set to the Eagles at 26-24. 
  • Three straight kills from Rachael Meyres to open the second set put BC in front 3-0 before AU got on the board. The Cougars got a point on a Hope Parrish kill, but a kill from Claire Griffith set up a seven-point BC highlighted by four-straight kills from Stoop run to make it 10-1. The Eagles led by as much as 20-8 before a WIlliams kill gave the Eagles set points. A Kill from Stoop ended the second frame in dominating fashion at 25-12.
  • The Eagles again were on the front foot in set three as a pair of AU errors and a kill from Ashley Rutherford made it 3-1 for the visitors. A kill from Griffith helped extend the lead to 7-3 and then the teams traded points. AU slowly crept back in and got the gap back to just a pair of points at 15-13 , but a kill from Atwell along with a service ace from Stoop opened things back up for BC. Averett got it back to a three-point gap at 19-16, but an AU error set off a five-point run for BC capped off by kills from Meyers and Stoop to seal the victory.
