To open the game, Stony Point won the first point. The Tigers would use that momentum to take a lead and despite the Warriors’ efforts, the Tigers finished the close set on top 27-25.

At the start of the second set, the Warriors sought to rebound from their first set loss and they won the first point. However, after a tough set, the Warriors lost again to finish the match down 2-0.
