In that run, Gerling had two kills and Katie Mitchell, Amalia Viti and Cassie Ligh added kills of their own to continue the rally and climb within two, 26-24.
Two kills by Viti and an ace by setter Alex Marchyshyn in conjunction with a couple of Brown errors, knotted the game at 28-28. Two errors by the Bears closed out game one, with
Brown had 21 kills in game two, as they rallied from an early five-point deficit to win 30-20.
