In the fourth set, the River Hawks struggled out of the gate, trailing by six or more points on four different occasions and they ended up dropping the set, 25-18.
 
In the dramatic fifth set, the River Hawks played stellar defense, with Lyons and Portale having two crucial blocks that sealed the win for the River Hawks.
