The third game victory gave the Sea Devils momentum, allowing them to take the fourth set by a score of 25-17. The fifth and final set was tighter, but Cape Fear held on to win 15-11.
"This was our first match, so I expected a little bit of a rocky start," said head coach Emily Coleman. "It wasn't pretty at the beginning, but we got it together at the end. This team definitely has some fight after being down 0-2."
