Dominique Madarang that cut the lead 13-16. Coppin would close the gap to 15-17 after a UMBC attack error. The set and momentum would be lost as the Retrievers went on an 8-1 run to close out the set.
The second set saw the Lady Eagles start off strong and take a 4-1 lead by two service aces by
Jennifer Gell and a block by Vailyah Barnes and Jamerson. The Retrievers would storm back on a 24-9 run to take the second set. The third set would see Coppin again take a 4-1 lead. This time it was UMBC committing the errors and Jamerson getting the kill from Madarang to give the Lady Eagles momentum. UMBC would come back and take the lead 4-5 before Coppin went on a 4-1 lead to control the scoreboard 8-6. Coppin would continue to hold off UMBC two more times to keep the lead 11-10 after an
