MEQUON, Wis. -  The Falcons came in hot in the first set and put up the first point on the board to start the game with a kill from freshman Spencer Herman (Appleton, Wis.) to set the tone for the night.

The Blue and White went on a streak of points with a kill from senior James Althoff (Kenosha, Wis.), a service ace from Althoff, a kill from junior Cody Sciabica (Henderson, Nev.), an attack error from IIT, a service ace from senior Zach Smith (Massillon, Ohio), and a kill by Herman to extend the lead in the first set.
