UMES took the first game with a hard-fought 30-21 margin. Jana Milin and Mandie Dever set the pace for the night with kills from the outside and blocks at the net to open things up. Hampton fought strong behind Sydnee Keel and Chavanca "CeCe" Hoskins, but the Lady Hawks of UMES (15-14, 7-2 MEAC) stuck with it in order to capture the win. The second game saw much of the same, added Mamie Lewis with kills and thrills for the Lady Hawks. HU (6-24, 2-8 MEAC) used defense and service aces from senior Alexis Avery in order to keep things close, but UMES closed out the game with a 30-21 advantage. In the third and decisive game, HU got down big early-on, but rallied late to make things interesting with a 30-26 score in favor of the Lady Hawks.
