Millersville evened the match in the second set but trailed as late as 20-18. Harman stepped in to serve and picked up three consecutive points for the Marauders. After trading points to make the score 23-23, Dawson snuck in a kill, and a WCU error end the set.
West Chester took back the advantage with a with a third-set win in which it hit .261. And the Golden Rams were on the verge of clinching the match in set four, leading 23-20.
