Match 1 - Susquehanna 3, Drew 2
The milestone win for Tom did not come easy against first-year program Drew University, which fought back from a 2-0 deficit to the River Hawks before SU battled back in the fifth set to take a 16-14 win in the final stanza for a 25-22, 25-14, 25-27, 22-25, 17-15 victory over the Rangers.

Susquehanna (11-4) hit well in the opening set with a match-high 16 kills, and followed that up in the second set by hitting .206 while holding Drew to just six terminations in taking a 2-0 match lead.

Drew had it's offense come to life in the third set, but Susquehanna led the game for the majority of the time including taking a 24-20 lead to set up four match points. The River Hawks wouldn't be able to put away Drew as it went on a 5-0 run to take a 25-24 lead. Riley O'Dowd posted a kill to make it 25-all, but DU chalked up the next two points to make it a 2-1 match score.

The momentum for Drew (12-3) carried over to the fourth set, as the Rangers scored eight of the first 10 points to take an 8-2 lead. SU stormed back with a 9-3 run to tie the match at 11 on a kill by Rosina Esposito. With the score tied at 18-all, Drew went on a 4-0 run and SU couldn't get back into it as Drew took the set 25-22.

In the fifth, the two teams battled back and forth with the score being tied eight times throughout the stanza. With the score tied at 15, Esposito hammered a kill to make it 16-15 in favor of SU and followed that with a match-securing kill to give landmark triumph to Tom.

Esposito led SU in kills with 25, adding 31 digs as well in a massive double-double. Setter Madison Rockey also contributed a big double-double of 45 assists and 18 digs, and libero Lizzie Herestofa recorded a career-high 39 digs along with seven assists in the win.
