Marlee Johnson (Newville, Pa./Big Spring) led the team with 17 kills, Kate Kuehl finished with 12 and Allison Saalfrank (Perkasie, Pa./Pennridge) finished with 10.

Both teams would go back and forth in the set with it eventually being tied 20-20 thanks to a kill from Kuehl. The Marauders would close it out 25-21.

The second set continued the close match up with a 3-3 start with kills from Johnson and Kuehl, both assisted by Clark, along with an attack error by Millersville. The Marauders would then put up an 11-5 score midway through the set. Bloomsburg wouldn't give in though as they would chip away at the lead with another close set at 21-20 Millersville. The Huskies could not take control and lost the set 25-22. 

The Huskies would be down 6-4 early in the third set. Facing a potential sweep, they would score six consecutive points, leading 10-6, with kills from Alynna Haggadone (Broomfield, Colo./Legacy), Johnson and Sophie Wales (Port Matilda, Pa./State College). Bloomsburg did not lose this lead with a late score of 23-14. Not out yet, the Marauders would start a comeback, closing it to 24-19. Kuehl ended the set with a kill to give the team their only win. 

The Huskies started out hot in the final set with a score of 8-4 thanks to an ace from Emily Gustie (Crofton, Md./Crofton) and multiple kills from Saalfrank and Kuehl.
