How it Happened

The two squads traded blows early as neither side managed to create separation up to a 14-13 Georgia Tech advantage. The Yellow Jackets took control from there, claiming eight of the next 10 points to build up a 22-15 lead. Tech closed things out shortly after as Moss put a stamp on the White and Goldโ€™s 25-17 first set win with a kill from inside.

The second set was much of the same early on as the Jackets and Sun Devils went back-and-forth with runs of three and four points up to an 11-10 lead for Arizona State. The match remained neck-and-neck up to a 20-19 Georgia Tech lead, but the White and Gold strung together four crucial points to follow, holding off a last gasp effort by the Sun Devils for a 25-22 set two win.

Arizona State stormed back in the third set, maintaining control throughout its duration. Tech started to regain its composure at the tail end of the set with a burst of three, but the Sun Devils finished off the set on top, 25-13.

Georgia Tech rebounded in the fourth set, outmatching Arizona State from start to finish. The Yellow Jackets raced out to a 7-1 lead to start off the set, further asserting their dominance following a pair of Sun Devil points by claiming 14 of the next 16 points. Leading with a 16-point advantage at 21-5, Tech cruised onto a 25-10 set four win to secure its highest margin of victory in a set this season and clinch a 3-1 match victory
