HOW IT HAPPENED
- Rockford (1-5, 0-0 NACC) didn't make things easy for MSOE (2-9, 0-0 NACC) as after a pair of three points leads, they took a 13-11 lead at the midway point. Back-to-back kills from Katie Taticek tied up the set at 20, followed by a kill from Ashley Murphy to take the lead.

- After going back and forth to begin the third set, a kill from Gillian McDaniel sprung them into the lead and they didn't look back. A 6-0 run capped by a kill from Madalynn Skwarek to put the Red & White ahead 21-13 and while the Regents made a late push to go to a fourth set, Skwarek added another kill to end it 25-20.
