MATCH REPLAY
SET 1 I 25-23 UNC Pembroke jumped out to an early 4-0 lead in the opening set, and would eventually take a commanding 16-9 advantage following a kill from Ruby Countryman. Converse used an 8-3 surge to cut away at its deficit, 19-17, but UNCP pushed its lead out to 23-18 after an ill-timed attack error from Converse. The Valkyries scored the next four points to trail just 23-22, but the Braves scored two of the final three points to take the opening set. 
SET 2 I 22-25 The hosts took a 7-3 advantage following blocks from AC Garbade and Tori Barr, but UNCP would tie the score at 8-8 with a Converse attack error moments later. Converse ran its lead out to 16-13 via a kill from Tori Barr, but the Braves stayed in the set and locked the score at 21 apiece with a kill from Katelynn Swain. CU finished the set on a 4-1 scoring advantage to win the second set. 
SET 3 I 25-19 A kill from Alayah Robertson gave Converse an early 10-8 lead, but UNC Pembroke put together a 5-1 run to gain a 13-11 lead following a kill from Ruby Countryman.
