  • Unfortunately, Thiel made one more run to close out the second set with a 25-21 win.
  • Hartwick stayed on the heels of the Tomcats in the fourth set, but couldn't find a way to overtake the lead, falling 21-25.
  • Thiel once again pushed points to extend a two-point lead over Hartwick to a six-point lead and never looked back to close out the 25-18 set win and 3-1 match win.
