Oswego pressed Alfred throughout this one, despite the score line. The Lakers actually began the contest on a 5-2 run, before extending its lead to 9-5 in the first set.

Qelaj tallied three service aces in the match and also contributed 12 digs to the defensive effort. Emma Moriarty (10) and Lauren Edwards (8) combined for 18 more digs.

Offensively, Megan Russell, Ariel Murawski and Meaghan Roefs led in kills. The trio had seven, five and five in the column respectively.
