Zanze Kuba-McCoy that put the score at 22-17. The Mules grabbed the next three points to bring them within two, but the Bullets got to set point after another Kuba-McCoy kill and block, assisted by
Mary Huegel (Marlboro, N.J./Colts Neck). The Mules grabbed one more on a Bullets error, but Huegel killed the ball to win the set for the Bullets.

Kylie Ulrich kill put the Bullets at set point, and a Mules attack error gave Gettysburg the second set.
• In the final set, the teams each went on their own run to make the score 5-4, with the Bullets leading. The teams traded points to make the score 8-6, Bullets, before Gettysburg snagged seven consecutive points to give them a nine-point lead, 15-6.
