HOW IT HAPPENED
- Neither side set the tone in set one as it truly went back and forth throughout. As things remained tight down the stretch, MSOE (13-9, 9-2 NACC) showed the first signs of a momentum swing, closing out the set on a 6-2 run, capped by a kill from Eric Mueller for a 25-20 win.
- The Raiders were dominant in set two, opening on a 17-5 run, including four service aces. Seth Thomas emerged as the leader in the set as the final point came on ace from him as they cruised 25-8 to take the set.
- Lakeland (7-13, 4-6 NACC) picked up their play in the third set, having a short lead midway through. 14-13. A small 3-0 run with kills from Matthew Schultz and Carter Shavitz to put the Raiders back in the lead 16-14 and it was over from there. The Raiders closed on another 6-2 run to finish off the sweep 25-19.
