HOW IT HAPPENED

The Bulldogs trailed for nearly the entirety of the first set, despite leveling the score at 4-4 in the early goings behind several ball handling errors on the Saints and a kill by Alex Tobler. For two of its last three points of the set, AC posted two service aces by Megan Prsa.

Set two followed started out the complete opposite, with Adrian taking a 3-0 lead, with kills by Tobler and Grace Welch and another ace by Prsa. The Bulldogs continued to lead on and off until the score was knotted at 13-13 and the Saints put on a six-point run.
