HOW IT HAPPENED

Elon got out to a quick 7-3 lead over the Seahawks in the opening set.

Out of the timeout, the Phoenix kept momentum going on a 6-2 run extending their lead to seven at 16-9. Back-to-back kills from Cameron Lanier and Clara LaRue saw Elon in front 20-11 late in the frame. UNCW won six of the next nine points to get back within five points at 23-18. From there, back-to-back Seahawk errors ended set one with Elon winning 25-18.
Early in set two, UNCW led 5-2 and kept that momentum to go up 8-4 and force an Elon timeout. Out of the break, the Phoenix went on a 6-0 run to gain their second lead of the set at 10-8. Elon won four of the next six points extending their lead to 14-10. The teams traded points before a kill from LaRue and a UNCW attacking error forced the Seahawks to take a timeout with the Phoenix up 19-14. Later, UNCW went on a 5-2 run to get within four late in the frame at 23-19, but Elon only allowed two more points taking set two 25-21.
The teams went back and forth to open set three. With the score tied 7-7, UNCW went on a 4-1 run to take an 11-8 advantage. Elon got within two at 13-11 but the Seahawks went on a 3-0 run extending their lead to 16-11. Elon won five of the next seven points to cut the Seahawk lead back to two at 18-16.
