Mercy rallied from a late 23-20 deficit to take the first set, 25-23, but Roberts Wesleyan matched the feat in the second set, 25-21, to level the match. The Redhawks kept the momentum going in a 25-13 third set win and clinched the match with a 25-22 victory in the fourth despite a late push by the Mavericks.

Mercy 0, Daemen 3
The Mavericks looked on their way to ending the upstate trip on a high note early, but a furious Daemen rally won the Wildcats the first set, 26-24, and another comeback saw the Mavericks down 2-0 after a 25-21 Daemen win in the second set. Mercy fell behind early and never quite caught up in the third set, 25-22.
