HOW IT HAPPENED:   

First Set: The first set was a back-and-forth battle that proved challenging for both sides.

Second Set: Barry began the second set strong, forcing a Spartans timeout after a 7-1 scoring run to open the frame. The Spartans though, responded with a 7-1 run of their own to bring the set to a tie at 11-11. Similar to the first set, both teams traded points, however this time Tampa was able to avoid extending the set, and won the frame by a score of 25-22. || Score: 2-0 Tampa     

Third Set: The early goings of the third set were similar to the first two. However, the Spartans dominated the middle of the set and built a 20-13 lead utilizing the combined setting effort from Noe and sophomore Chelsea Simmons, who combined for 12 assists in the third set. Barry would respond and narrow the lead to just three points at 23-20, but it was too little too late as the Spartans took the final set 25-22. || Final: 3-0 Tampa
