The second set would start the same way as the first with both teams battling back and forth and the Bulldogs down just three early on at 12-9. The Seminoles would control the second half of the set en route to a 25-15 game two win.
The third set was truly a battle between the two teams with UNC Asheville after a kill by freshman outside hitter KK Haley down just one at 15-14.
