In set one, the two teams were tied at 8\u00a0before the Jimmies ran off four consecutive points on two kills by Steele and one each from Austin Jacob<\/a> (FR\/Houston, Texas) and Vanags.<\/p>\n

The Jimmies would not relinquish the lead the rest of the set as Steele finished off the scoring with an ace.<\/p>\n

UJ carried the momentum into the second set, jumping out to a 6-2 lead on kills by Jacob, Steele, Vanags and an ace by Neumann.<\/p>\n

The Jimmies never trailed in the set, building the lead to as many as 8 (15-7).<\/p>\n

Dordt turned the tables in set three, starting fast the building a 12-6 lead.\u00a0 The Jimmies rallied to tie the set at 19, but the Defenders won six\u00a0of the final seven\u00a0points to take the set.<\/p>\n

Set four was tight until the end as the two teams combined for six ties and three lead changes.<\/p>\n

UJ led 19-18 before putting the match away with a 6-2 run behind kills by Steele, Cox, Vanags and Jacob.<\/p>\n

Jimmies 3, Viterbo 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

In set two, the Jimmies caught fire, winning 25-14.\u00a0 UJ jumped out to a 7-2 lead behind three\u00a0kills by Steele.<\/p>\n

They maintained that lead up until 18-12 when they put together a 7-2 to end the set.\u00a0Three kills by Cox led the charge.<\/p>\n

The Jimmies seemed in control of set three and looked to sweep the match, but Viterbo rallied to force a fourth set.<\/p>\n

UJ led 10-5 early and still had a 20-17 lead before the V-Hawks closed the set by rallying to outscore UJ 8-3.<\/p>\n

The fourth set was tight early on as the two teams were tied at 10 before UJ put together a 4-0 run, keyed by kills from Jacob and Cox.<\/p>\n

Viterbo stormed back to cut the deficit to 14-13, but three kills by Owens fueled an 8-0 run under the serve of Kodiak Cranford<\/a> (FR\/Escondido, Calif.) to grab a 22-13 lead and never looked back.<\/p>\n
