FAU (6-11) led 10-4 in first set before the Crusaders (1-17) pulled to within two. Four straight Owl point regained control of the set and a 6-2 run late put FAU ahead 1-0.

The Owls scored the first four points of the second set and were never seriously threatened on their way to a 25-13 win. Chandler Hatton, Thacilli Pereira and Sara Stoll all had three kills in the frame.

Set number three was tied at 3-3 when Nightingale served FAU to a six point lead. The Owls never relinquished the advantage and an Isabelle Arboleda kill put the match away for FAU.
