GAME REPLAY
SET 1 I 26-24 St. Andrews was the aggressor early and skated out to a 12-5 lead following a kill by Shalia Powell, but the Braves clawed their way back into the set by taking nine of the next 11 points. The Knights stretched their lead out to 21-15 later in the set, but the Black & Gold answered with another run and eventually knotted things up at 23 apiece thanks to a kill from Ashley Caesar.
SET 2 I 25-20 The Braves registered a .325 hitting percentage in the second set and took the lead for good via an attack error by St. Andrews that allowed the hosts to grab a 9-8 advantage in the set. St. Andrews pulled to within one point, 19-18, later in the set, but UNCP put up five-straight points to fuel the 2-0 advantage in the matchup.
SET 3 I 21-25 Even through 22 points, the Braves tacked up four-straight points to forge a 16-12 advantage in the set, only to have the Knights pull to within a point, 19-18, minutes later. Shannon Skryd keyed the hosts with three kills down the stretch, however, as the Black & Gold closed out the match with a 6-3 run.
