Ferragonio ended the match with a kill to seal the 3-0 win.

The opening set was controlled by Saint Francis. It started out with a tight 6-4 score to start out, but the Red Flash erupted to the tune of a 13-3 run to balloon the lead to 19-7. FDU never cut the deficit below 10 afterwards, and Parker's fourth ace helped give the squad a 25-10 set win.

Set two saw the team get out to a 8-3 lead and never look back. The Knights would attempt a rally by making the score as close as 17-13, but the Red Flash shut it down with a 7-3 run to extend their lead to 24-16. Elijah Lazor wrapped up the set with a kill to help Saint Francis go up 2-0 in the match.
