The first game was all Brown and Gold, thanks to a .308 hitting percentage and 18 kills for the Panthers. The Falcons actually picked up one more kill then Adelphi in game two, but a late 6-1 run, sparked by Bentley service error, turned a 18-16 Brown and Gold lead into a 24-16 margin on the way to a 25-21 Panther win.
