Following the timeout, BC won three straight to cut the Pitt lead to four at 18-14, as a Jill Strockis ace forced the Panthers to call timeout. BC got within two points on six different occasions, but couldn't pull ahead and dropped the set, 25-22.
Set 2

The teams kept exchanging points until the Panthers won two straight to lead 19-13. The Panthers maintained the lead from there, winning the final four points to take the set, 25-15.
