How It Happened

* Abington led 4-3 early in the opening set and used a mini 4-0 run to push its lead to five points at 8-3. From there the Nittany Lions maintained their lead the rest of the way and pushed it to double-digits thanks to a 5-0 surge midway through the set. A service ace by sophomore Zayna Jamaladdin gave the Nittany Lions a 10-point advantage before a kill by freshman Ellie Van Otten capped the run to make it 19-8. Abington sealed the set victory with an ace by Van Otten for a 25-12 score.

* In the second set the Nittany Lions overcame a 5-1 start by the Paces and eventually tied the set at 9-9 and take the lead on the next point with a kill from freshman Maddie. Marywood responded with a kill by Ryleigh Hart but Abington followed with a 6-1 run to take the lead for good. A service ace by freshman Fabiola Medina gave the Nittany Lions a 16-11 advantage. The Pacers cut the deficit down to 18-16 but a 4-0 run by the Nittany Lions gave the home team a little breathing room. Marywood made one final push and came within three points at 23-20 but back-to-back miscues by the Pacers credited Abington with a 25-20 victory.

* Abington trailed the third set 11-6, but the Nittany Lions rallied with eight straight points to grab a 14-11 lead. Abington benefited from four errors by the Pacers during the run, which also featured a pair of kills from junior Alyssa Flickinger. Marywood would tie the set at 14-14 and again at 15-15 before the Nittany regained possession of the lead. Sophomore Brynn Atkins' kill made the score 18-15.

Facing match point at 24-21, the Pacers ripped off back-to-back kills from Libby Smith and Jaedyn Laws, but Van Otten put an end to the potential comeback with her 11^th and final kill of the night to give the Nittany Lions a 25-23 victory.
