  • The first set was a tightly contested, as after the first 20 points, the set was tied up at 10. The Knights would eventually pull ahead, 18-16, however Southern Virginia battled back. After falling behind by one, the Knights tied the game at 20, before eventually falling, 25-21. Manley finished the first game with a team-high four kills.
