HOW IT HAPPENED
- St. Norbert (9-14, 3-7 NACC) had zero rhythm on offense to begin as six of the first eight points for MSOE (10-10, 8-1 NACC) came from attacking errors to give them an 8-3 lead quickly. As the Raiders steadily held their lead, the Green Knights cut it to three after a 5-0 run to make it 17-14. The Raiders closed on a 4-0 run as Seth Thomas stuffed the Green Knights at the net to win 25-19.
- After things went back and forth to begin the second set, the Raiders emerged with the lead after a kill from Thomas kickstarted a 4-0 run to take a 14-9 lead. After the Green Knights cut the deficit to three late, a 5-1 run ended by Tommy Clausz with a solo block gave the Raiders the set win 25-18.
- The Green Knights hung around in the third set, taking a 19-16 lead after going on a 5-0 run midway through. A kill from Callan Harris tied things up at 20, with Thomas tying things once against 23. After the Green Knights found themselves at set point, the Raiders closed on a 3-0 run with Clausz putting the final touch together to win 27-25.
