Lander dropped the first set and trailed 4-1 in the second set, but fought back with an 8-0 run to take command of the set. Georgia College grabbed the third set to move ahead 2-1, but the Bearcats once again responded. Trailing 14-6, a pair of Ross kill and four consecutive errors by the Bobcats sparked Lander on a 10-0 run to take a lead.
