In the end of set two, Haverford would win 26-24. Although, this would be the only set they would win. Coast Guard would win the next three sets in a row.

Bears jumped out to a three-point lead in the first set, but would ultimately drop set one to the Auggies. In set two, both teams would each take turns grabbing ahold of the lead, but Coast Guard would ultimately clench set two 25-23. 

Set three would be another close one, but the Bears would fall at the end 25-23. However, the Bears were not going down without a fight. Set four was close once again and it seemed like anyone could win it. The Bears would fight and fight until they took set four 26-24. 

The final set was a nail-biter and the score would become tied four times in the 15-point match. Unfortunately, the Bears would fall in the final set 15-11. The Bears never gave up in game two and showed grit all the way until the end.
