The Purple and Gold's second match was close in all aspects as the Hawks won the first two sets 25-19, 25-23, but could not manage to close out the win, dropping the next three, 25-23, 25-18 and 15-13.

In the third set the Hawks came back from a five-point deficit to tie the score at 22. The Brewers ended up with the final two points off Hunter errors to send the match into a fourth set.

Vassar responded with four-straight points of their own until a Budna kill silenced the run. With the Purple and Gold leading 13-12, the Brewers managed the next three points to take the set 15-13 and win the match 3-2.
