Trailing 20-15, the Knights responded by taking 11 of the last 15 points of the set - powered by kills by Enfield and Michelle Frank along with a pair of Emily Eng aces .- before Hess capped off the 26-24 set victory with an ace of her own.

-With the two sides tied at five in the fourth set, the Knights took control with seven-consecutive points led by four Enfield kills to jump out in front, 12-5.
