The lead continued to grow on two more Mollberg strikes and another by Majenski to grow the advantage to 14-9. Holding the 17-14 lead the visitors pulled out the third set with a 8-0 run sparked by two aces from Fontes.

Post Game Press: 
"This was a huge and important win for us", said junior Brooke Patnode (Weare, N.H.). "We came out strong and finished strong. The defense tonight was amazing and the passes were up consistently so I was able to deliver to my hitters who were finding spots and putting the ball down. Overall great team win and I'm excited to continue this energy into these next GNAC games!"
