Payton Brady served up five straight points to put the Eagles ahead 19-14 and Amiah Fimbres served for another three points to make the score 23-15. The teams traded side outs and the Eagles took the opener 25-19. After going up 6-1 in the second set, the Eagles let the Warriors back in the game and the lead was not more than two for the rest of the set. Brooklyn Fox got a block to finish off the set with a score of 25-23.
In the third set it was the Warriors turn to get the hot start, going up 8-3. The Eagles managed to equalize the game at 15 all and had a late lead at 19-16. Down 22-21, the Warriors reeled off four straight points to take their first set of the night. Losing the set energized the Eagles and they led the fourth and deciding set most of the way.
