Match Notes
 

• The opening stanza was an exciting back and forth set that went down to the wire. After the early goings, neither team could put together a lead larger than three, which the Peacocks did late in the set when they took a 24-21 advantage. With set point, Angeleyshka Curbelo slammed home a kill to seal the 25-23 win.
• Canisius came out fast in the second set, taking leads of 9-3 and then 16-8 over the Saint Peter's. The Peacocks would rebound, taking advantage of four straight errors by the Griffs, to cut the deficit to 12-16. The Peacocks remained in the same gear, allowing Canisius to win the set 25-19.  
• Much like the first set, the third set provided back and forth play -- 13 ties and six lead changes worth -- leading to another entertaining set. Still knotted, Peacocks got kills from Stephanie Rivera, Alanis Alvarado, and Curbelo to even things again at 23-23, but Canisius pulled out the last two points to take the set 25-23. 
• Canisius wound up taking the fourth and final set 25-16, to win the match.
