GAME REPLAY
SET 1 I 19-25 Augusta scored the first four points of the night and eventually built a 13-5 advantage before the Braves rallied for eight of the next nine points behind the serving of Bailee Jones. Augusta put together a 5-1 run later in the set to pad its advantage out to 23-18, and put the finishing touches on the opening-set victory with a service ace by Cheryke Brian-Garmos.
SET 2 I 23-25 The Braves were on fire through much of the first half of the second set, and forced Augusta to call its second timeout after a service ace by Bailee Jones gave the home team a 15-6 lead. A service error by Holland Martin would eventually put the Jaguars in a 21-13 hole, but the visitors scored four-straight points to pull to within four, 21-17, and then tacked up the final six points of the set to grab the 25-23 triumph.
SET 3 I 23-25 Augusta hit .417 in a match-clinching third set that was close throughout. The Jags went out in front 15-10 following a kill by Savanna Gonzales, but the Black & Gold eventually pulled to within two, 19-17, after a kill from Ashley Caesar minutes later. A kill by Shannon Skryd made it a 24-23 set and forced the Jags to call a timeout, but McKenzey Beck's kill coming out of the break capped the night.
