COACH GARLACY'S COMMENTS
"We had a slow start to the match tonight. Our receive greatly improved in sets two and three which put us in good position to win those sets. We didn't execute in those moments."

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • SET 1 – The Bears got off to a fast start in the first set, going up 7-2 and forcing an early Bryant timeout. Brown continued their dominance as they took a 16-4 lead. The Bulldogs got a much-needed spark from Lea Mackey as she tallied a pair of kills to cut the deficit to 20-9. The spark wasn't enough however as the Bears cruised to a first set victory 25-12. Lea Mackey led the Bulldogs with 3 kills after the first set and Madison Koeller led the team in digs with 3.
  • SET 2 – Both teams traded punches to begin the second set as they were tied 5-5. The Bulldogs then went on an impressive 8-4 run to take the 13-9 lead, highlighted by three kills from Kaitlin Curran and another from Ana Fuertes-Brito. The Bears rallied from behind to take the 20-19 lead late in the second set. It became a marathon at the end of the set as neither team could out the other away. The Bulldogs nearly closed out as they took the 25-24 lead with back-to-back kills from Brookelyn Talmadge and Arianna Ugolini, but the Bears clawed ahead and finished off the set 29-27 to go up 2-0 in sets.
  • SET 3 – The third set was another battle between the Bulldogs and the Bears. Bryant went ahead 5-4 early on. Brown then pulled ahead 14-13.
