Gettysburg trailed nearly the entire opening set with Stevenson before rallying to tie the game at 23-23. The Mustangs had set point at 25-24 before back-to-back kills by sophomore Laura Bergin (Charlottesville, Va./Western Albemarle) set the stage for the Bullet win.
 
The visitors cruised in the second set before Stevenson finished off the third contest with a 10-4 run. A kill by junior Joosje Grevers (Westport, Conn./Staples) followed by back-to-back attack errors by the Mustangs broke an 18-all tie in the fourth set.
