Breanna Opera (Lancaster, N.Y./Lancaster ) also played a big part in that set victory. That set pushed well into extra points, with the Red Flash winning it, 32-30. SFU trailed, 20-15, but scored six straight points to take a 21-20 led. Opera had three of the final four points on that run on kills.
 
With SFU facing set point, 24-23, Opera had another kill to tie the score. Marcinowski tied the score at 29, and after Fort Wayne took a 30-29 lead, Opera had two kills on the final three-point run for the Flash to give SFU the set victory.
 
Metzler and Kelsey Roush (Johnstown, Pa./Richland) had kills in the third set to help SFU pull to within 11-9. But by the time Marcinowski scored later in the set, Fort Wayne had already taken a 20-13 lead. In the fourth set, the teams played evenly through the first 30-plus points as Fort Wayne led, 16-15. But a 7-1 Fort Wayne run put the Mastadons well ahead. Sophie Murdock (Lake Orion, Mich./Lake Orion ) and Opera each had kills as SFU pulled to within 23-19, but Fort Wayne scored the last two points to win the set and the match.
