In the second match, the Marauders got ahead early and took the set 25-14, and Sugars added two more kills.

Post Game Quotes
Today showed that the Thorobreds have time to grow and improve." It was a great opportunity and indicator of where we need to grow and where there is an opportunity to excel. There were great moments, but great moments aren't going to win the game, and we have to capitalize on the little things because the little things are what got us in the end." Head Coach Katrina English said after the match.
