HOW IT HAPPENED:

Ellie Hanson got the RedHawks going at the beginning of the first set, as she used a block, a kill and a service ace to help the RedHawks take a 7-4 lead. Eastern Michigan evened the score at 10-10 and went on to stretch its lead to 19-13. A pair of kills from Gentry Warrick kept the RedHawks within five at 20-15, but Miami came no closer, as the Eagles claimed the first set 25-19.
Miami started the second set 5-0, and Molly Creech helped fuel the offense to a 12-4 lead after putting down three kills. The Eagles battled to shrink the RedHawk lead to 18-15 when two kills and a Hayden Hicks service ace gave Miami a more comfortable lead at 21-15. The scoring gap proved too large for the Eagles, as Miami took the second set thanks to a block from Coyne and Warrick to end the set at 25-17.
Eastern Michigan came out strong in the third set by rolling to a 13-4 advantage. Miami outscored the Eagles 7-1 to minimize the Eastern Michigan lead to 14-11. Back-to-back service aces from Lindy Radaszewski made it a two-point set at 18-16 and forced the visitors to call a timeout. Despite the strong effort, the Eagles grabbed the third set 25-20.
Grace Kreutz recorded three kills in the opening of the fourth set to keep Miami in the fight at 5-3. A collection of kills and blocks from the RedHawks brought Miami right back in it by making it a one-point set at 11-10. With the Eagles winning 13-11, two kills and a Kreutz service ace gave Miami its first lead of the set at 14-13. Holding on to an 18-16 lead, the Red and White managed to put down seven kills and a service ace to edge past Eastern Michigan 26-24 in the fourth set.
The Eagles surged ahead 4-0 at the start of the fifth set when three consecutive kills from Chelsea Williams ended the Eagles' offensive attack at 4-3.
