MATCH REPLAY
SET 1 I 25-23 Augusta took a 9-45 lead in the opening set following a block from Marin Freeland and Jada Suguturaga. UNC Pembroke hit a team-best .250 from the net and would knot the score at 12 apiece after a 4-0 scoring run. The Jaguars pushed their lead out to 19-15 after a kill from Jacklyn Simms, but the Braves closed out the set on a 10-4 surge to take the opening set. 
SET 2 I 25-20 McKenna Hayes sparked the offense with a kill and started a 4-1 run to give UNCP a 17-12 advantage. Augusta chipped away at its deficit, 19-16, with a kill from Lauren Posa, but the hosts stayed in control of the set and limited the Jaguars to just a .093 hitting percentage during the set. 
SET 3 I 22-25 Tyler Patterson registered a pair of service aces to give UNC Pembroke a slight 9-8 lead during the set. Augusta hit a match-best .275 from the net and used an 8-3 run to take a 16-12 lead following a pair of blocks. The Braves rallied off five straight points to work their deficit back to 22-21 with a service ace from Savannah Whaley, but the Jaguars won three out of the final four points of the set. 
SET 4 I 20-25 Augusta jumped out to a 14-8 lead with an ill-timed attack error from UNCP. The hosts cut into their deficit with a 3-0 run to trail 16-13, but the Jaguars padded their lead, 24-19, with a UNCP service error. The Braves fended off a set point with a kill from Precious Daley, but a kill from Mikayla Kline sent the match a deciding set. 
SET 5 I 13-15 Augusta won five-straight points to take a 9-3 lead with a service ace from Marah Zenner. UNCP answered with six consecutive points to tie the score at 10 apiece, but the Jaguars took the lead for good, 14-13, following an attack error from UNCP.
