The set began with the Saints surging off to a 7-0 lead, forcing an Eastern Florida State College timeout. However, the Titans would quickly battle back and eventually take a 13-11 lead, before the Saints took their first timeout.

EFSC would keep their foot on the pedal, eventually pulling away to tie the match at a set apiece. 

Set 3 - EFSC 26, SF 24

The match would continue to be a back and forth affair, with the teams being neck-and-neck.

Set 4 - EFSC 25, SF 21

 Trailing 19-15, the Saints would battle back and tie the set at 19-19, but a fifth set wasn't meant to be inside the SF Gymnasium as the Titans earned the final kill.
