Kills from Smith and Yaffa, along with ETSU errors, then pushed a 21-17 lead as the Bucs responded with a 3-0 run to come within one, 21-20.

With all the momentum riding for Wofford, the third set was all the Terriers, busting out a 10-4 lead expeditiously through the opening rallies. The Terriers' offensive prowess showed in the third, hitting .375 in the frame, as Wofford landed point after point to build an eight-point lead by ETSU's final timeout, 17-9.
