A kill by senior middle blocker Courtney Berry (Charlottesville, Va./Western Albemarle) trimmed the deficit to one, and then three straight kills by senior outside hitter by Brynne Gould (Boone, N.C./Watauga) followed by another kill from Berry gave the Blue and White an 18-14 lead.

The Generals quickly claimed the first six points of the second and nine of the first 10. E&H made a late run in the stanza, but W&L took the set, 25-15.

Following a service error, Emory & Henry again knotted the set on a kill by first-year middle blocker Hannah Watson.
 
Berry then closed out the set (25-21) and the match (3-0) for the Generals, registering three kills over the next four points, with the fourth point coming on a Wasps' attack error.
