HOW IT HAPPENED
Suffolk climbed out of an 11-6 hole, tied the playing field at 12-all, before grabbing the lead on a Jessica Weber kill.

With things locked at 10, Suffolk outscored UNE, 5-1, to take a 15-11 advantage. The Nor'Easters knocked down the deficit with a 5-1 spurt of its own to equalize matters at 16. Like the second, the score would go on to tie three more times before the host closed the set and match on a 6-3 run.
