HOW IT HAPPENED
Set 1
AUM used a Montevallo attack error and a Kendall McCain kill to even the set early at nine points apiece. 

Later, trailing 16-12, the Warhawks used a four-point rally to even the score at 16. After McCain and Anyaliz Rodriguez went back-to-back on the front row, McCain dished out a service ace to help even the score. 

The Warhawks fought to keep up with the Falcons, but it was Montevallo who earned the 25-23 win to start the match.

Set 2
The Falcons used a 6-2 run on two kills from Danielle Greene to swell the lead to 12-7 early in set two. 

AUM was able to cut the deficit to 17-16 on a Montevallo service error, but an 8-4 run by the Falcons helped them take set two, 25-20. 

Set 3
Despite a McCain kill to start the third set rally, Montevallo strung together seven straight points to lead 9-4 after eight of the first nine points by the Falcons were from the front row. 

The Warhawks did counter with a 9-3 run of their own to make it a 19-17 deficit, but the Falcons, who hit .400 the final frame, finished on a 6-2 run to earn the sweep.
