Set One
The first set was an aggressive one as these two teams were eager to get back into competition after their matchup on September 6. Both teams went back and forth in the set, AU going toe to toe with the powerful Midway offense. Two kills by Emma Ingalls and two consecutive errors from Midway put AU in a 15-15 tie coming down the stretch of the first set. Midway responded with a four point swing to take the lead and carried this momentum to the set win, 25-18.

Set Two
Midway came out firing in the second set on an Asbury team that had battled through a hard first set to lose late. An early 15-6 lead was taken by Midway, putting AU in a challenging hole to recover from. Asbury responded by not going away with a 9-5 run that brought them within only five points, down 15-20. Despite another late three point run from AU it was Midway taking the 2-0 lead with a 25-18 win.

Set Three
Midway took an early lead again in the third set, but Asbury continued to battle their way back into the set. Multiple kills from Erin Sexauer and errors from the Midway side piled up for AU to take a late charge that saw them tying the game at 22-22. Asbury used this run to take a 26-25 lead over Midway looking for the final point to put them away. Midway's resilience proved to be too much as they found a way to take the 28-26 win and the match sweep over Asbury.
