The Lady Eagles led for the majority of the set until late in the match, when the barons tied it up for only the fourth time of the set. They tied it up at 20 all, but the Lady Eagles went back up by one after a kill from Riley Deem. 

The Barons took the lead with the next two serves to bring the score to 22-21. Faulkner tied it back with a kill from Hannah Bryan. The Barons then went on to take the set with three points in a row to finish set one at 25-22.

The two teams traded points on the next two serves before Brewton-Parker went on a 6-0 run to lead Faulkner 22-20. The Lady Eagles then came back with four straight to take set point at 24-22.
