How it Happened

The Gryphons played a competitve first set against Springfield, despite falling behind 5-0 early. Back-to-back scores from Costa stopped the run, but the Pride would remain ahead. Thanks to a pair of kills by Beck and a 6-1 run by the Gryphons, the two teams found themselves knotted up at eight points apiece. The Pride pulled away with a 5-1 run of their own, but this time the Gryphons could not get back into the set. A late block by Beck and Carolyn Kelly would not be enough to rally, as the Pride took the set 25-18. The second set saw Springfield jump ahead to a commanding 12-4 lead. Kills from Beck, Kazos, Kelly and Nikolet Vataj would get the Gryphons on the board, but it would not be enough as they fell 13-25. In the third and final set, Springfield once again got ahead early, this time to the tune of a 14-4 lead. The Gryphons went on a 5-0 run late in the set thanks to a pair of kills from Beck, but it would not be enough to stop a 25-14 win for the Pride.
