Nyack Warriors in five games (25-15, 21-25, 17-25, 25-16, 9-15) on

back as Nyack trailed the entire game. The Warriors took the next
two to take a one-game lead over Mercy with close scores of 25-21
and 25-17. Mercy tied it up at 2-2 in the next game, and it looked
as if the Mavericks would seal the deal on a win jumping out to a
5-2 lead in the final set. The Warriors came back and led 13-6
before finishing with a score of 15-9.
