The Huskies cruised to a 25-10 win in set three to head into the fourth set up 2-1. The set began with back and forth action before UConn came out with a 25-17 win to finish the match.

After the game, Head Coach Ellen Herman-Kimball said the coaching staff was delighted with the team's effort after the second set. "As a staff, we are really proud of the team to not let losing the second set define us and keeping the team morale up for the next set." She added that winning tonight's game was "not about capability, but about mentality."
The Huskies close out the weekend tournament with a matchup against Providence on Saturday at 6pm at Gampel Pavilion, where Herman-Kimball said they will be looking to "keep the foot on the gas" and come away with another win.
