SUNY Canton took command of the match from the get go, streaking out to a 15-4 lead in the first set. The Roos would not look back taking the first and second sets convincingly 25-8 and 25-14, respectively.

Green Mountain did not back down despite the 2-0 set deficit as the Eagles rallied in the third set and were ahead 13-12 midway through the set. Canton, however, was too strong for GMC on this day as the Roos battled back and clinched the game and match by taking the third set 25-19.
