In the second match of the day, Bellarmine pulled out three-straight close sets to wrap up a sweep of FSU (26-24, 25-21, 28-26).

Harrison once again dominated play offensively with 23 kills and four block assists. After 85 attacks in the first match of the day, Harrison totaled 62 against the Knights. Morgan Poling and freshman Taylor Wisniewski each chipped in five kills apiece to contribute to the Falcon attack.
