FAU (10-8) lost the first set, despite five kills from Robinson and four more from fellow sophomore Christina Wallinger. In the second set, A Robinson serving run helped the Owls get out to a 13-3 lead. The Hatters never got closer than five points the rest of the set and FAU tied the match at one set each.
