With the game tied at 11, Simpson created some breathing room as they scored four unanswered points on an ace by Kiahla Granger and kills by Tiara Manns and Mariah Napoleon to grab the 16-11 lead. 

A kill by Mallory Swenson followed by a set-clinching tandem block by Graham and Manns gave Simpson the 25-20 second set victory.

Providence Christian kept it rolling as the fourth set proved to be all Sea Beggars as they took a commanding 23-16 lead. 

 But the Red Hawks did not go quietly as they reeled off six straight points to pull within one on an ace by Tataryn Mackenzie and kills by Graham and Manns. 

Facing match point, Simpson tied the game at 24 on a kill by Abigail Shackelford and a block by Graham and Napoleon. 

However, the Sea Beggars prevailed and scored two straight points to take the fourth set 26-24 to take the match in four sets.
