Emma Kiser had a couple of aces to increase the lead to 17-8. Sofia Kamke had a couple of kills late and Beams had a block to help finish the first set.

The second set saw St. Petersburg take a 7-5 lead early but Eastern Florida stormed back with a 10-2 run, taking a 15-9 lead. From there the Titans cruised to a 25-16 win and a 2-0 lead.

Rachele Braccio scored 10 straight points including a couple of aces to give the Titans a commanding 12-2 lead. A Gaia Riedmuller ace gave the Titans a 17-7 lead on their way to a 25-10 win and a straight set win.
