The Saints hung on to the big advantage, securing the first set 25-14 and taking a 1-0 lead in the match.

The Saints won the first seven points of the second set to develop a commanding lead over the visitors, forcing Fisher into an early timeout. Emmanuel maintained a significant advantage throughout the remainder of the set en route to a 25-7 second set victory. The Saints were led by a balanced attack with four players responsible for at least three kills.

Carlos Diaz (Guaynabo, P.R.) got the third set started an ace for the visitors. Shortly after, a kill from Christopher Shepard (Woburn, Mass.) gave Fisher a 4-2 advantage early in the set. The Saints responded, taking advantage of a Falcons error for their first lead of the set. Emmanuel went on to grow their lead, ultimately winning the final five points of the set for a 25-15 third set victory and 3-0 (25-14, 25-7, 25-15) victory.
