UNF 3, JU 0 (25-16, 25-23, 25-23)
Inside the Sets
- Set 1: UNF hit a scorching .591 to JU's .091 mark on the attack as the Ospreys had the lead nearly the whole way through the set … JU put together a mini-run during the middle of the set, but four kills from Solimar Cestero and Anna Butler respectively, along with three from Gabby O'Connell, allowed UNF to run away with it.
- Set 2: In a set with seven tie scores and two lead changes, UNF got back-to-back clutch kills from Solimar Cestero and Dariana Hollingsworth-Santana to break a 23-23 tie and put the set on ice for UNF.
- Set 3: The final frame was anybody's game, seeing the match go to another 23-23 tie … O'Connell and Bre Walp put up important blocks down the stretch … O'Connell put up a kill for the 24-23 advantage before a JU attack went wide, giving UNF the match … JU called a challenge on the last play, but the initial call stood for UNF.
Annnnnddddd the call stands!
