Going on a 11-5 run, BC extended their lead to 15-7, forcing another FSU timeout. Seven of the next nine BC points came from kills from Ross (3), Herrington, Layne, Moore and Rach. Two final FSU errors solidified the first set for the Eagles, 25-18.
The Seminoles came out strong, jumping ahead early. The Eagles came within one point in the second, at 11-10, but efficient FSU offense pressured BC to take a timeout, down 19-13.

In a tightly contested third set as the Eagles and the Seminoles tied eight times. Tying it up again at 16-16, a huge 9-2 BC run featuring kills from Rach (2), Roach (3) and Layne (2) secured the third set for the Eagles, 25-18. The Eagles posted a .484%, holding the Seminoles to a .183 clip in the third.
