ULM, 10-12 and 1-6 in the conference, swapped sets with the Eagles before sealing the win with a 15-11 fifth set. Each team tied with 59 kills apiece, but a six ace and three block advantage combination was enough for the Warhawks to gain an edge.
The Warhawks, after a 25-19 fourth set win, reeled off five straight points to tear open a 10-5 lead in the fifth set, where they would win 15-11.
