How it Happened

The Lions fell behind, 9-6, in the first set before rallying for three straight points on kills from senior Jeanne Reinis and sophomore Kacey Affrunti paired with a service ace from junior Jessica Fischetti to tie the contest, 9-9.
From there, the scoring continued back-and-forth until Molloy took a 23-22 lead following a service error from Adelphi. The Panthers, however, strung together two consecutive points to lead, 24-23. The Lions once again tied the contest, 24-24, but the set ended on an Adelphi kill followed by a service ace.
The maroon and white fell behind 4-0 to start the second set, but chipped away at the Panthers' lead, eventually going in front 20-19 after a kill from junior Devon Hagerstrom. Three straight points from the home team put Adelphi back in front, 22-20, before the Panthers eventually hung on to take the 26-24 victory.
Molloy put together a five-point run in the third set to go in front, 8-4, before later jumping in front by as much as 13-8. Adelphi, however, fired off five points of their own to knot the score.
With Molloy in front, 17-14, the Panthers had another five-point run to take a late lead, 19-17. The maroon and white would claw back, taking a one-point advantage, 25-24. Unable to string together multiple points, the Lions fell, 28-26 in the final set.
