In the deciding fourth set, SNHU held a 24-22 lead and was serving for match point when a pair of kills and a Penmen attack error put the Ravens up 25-24 and serving to extend the match to a fifth set.  An FPU ball handling error tied the set 25-25, but Garcia gave Franklin Pierce a 26-25 lead with a kill.  Coronis tied the match with a kill, then a pair of attack errors by the guests gave SNHU the victory.

As a team Southern New Hampshire hit .211 on the evening while the Ravens hit .127.  The Penmen had eight service aces to FPU's two, but were nearly undone by 17 service errors.  The hosts also racked up nine more digs (72-63).
