• The Lynx played their best set of the season in the middle frame, leading 21-19 following a service ace by Korinne Hall-Johnson (North Brunswick, N.J.). AMC answered with four straight points to flip the lead to 23-21. A kill by Alawnah Dunda (Fort Ann, N.Y.) extended the action to keep it a one-point affair at 24-23 before Nyanna Richards kill gave the Falcons the 25-23 win.
