HOW IT HAPPENED:

Toledo opened the first set with a 5-0 lead. Numerous kills from the RedHawks kept them in the fight at 12-7. A Lauren Coyne kill and back-to-back attack errors from the Rockets brought Miami within three at 13-10. The Red and White went on to even the score at 17-17 and 21-21 before taking their first lead of the set thanks to a Toledo attack error at 23-22. The Rockets looked to end the set after taking a 25-24 lead, but the RedHawks answered with three straight points to secure a 27-25 win.
Building on their first-set momentum, three kills from Chelsea Williams at the start of the second set gave Miami a 3-2 advantage. With the score tied at six apiece, Toledo jumped ahead 9-6. A collection of kills from Williams and Creech kept things close at 15-11. The Rockets went on to stretch their lead to 20-13, and despite a strong push from the Red and White, Toledo took the second set 25-19.
As the third set began, the RedHawks started strong with a 10-5 lead. The Rockets came within 10-8 when a Radaszewski kill and Warrick service ace kept the RedHawks ahead 12-8. Toledo went on to reclaim the lead for the first time since the start of the set at 15-14. Two service aces from Kamryn Utley and two kills from Williams put the score at 19-16 in favor of the RedHawks. Despite a strong push from the Rockets, Miami won the third set thanks to three late kills from Creech.
The battle continued into the fourth set, with the Red and White leading 6-5 before Toledo responded with a 4-0 run. The Rockets looked to extend their lead at 14-9 before a Coyne kill, along with a block from Warrick and Radaszewski, kept Toledo's lead to just three points. Miami went on to knot the score up at 19-19, but the Rockets ultimately earned a 25-22 fourth-set victory.
The RedHawks' first three points of the final set came from kills to put the score at 3-3. Toledo looked to pull away at 9-6, when the Red and White used a 5-0 run to jump ahead 11-9.
