The Ravens rallied from an early deficit in the second set to even the match at one game apiece with a 25-20 win. Le Moyne held leads of 6-1, 10-6 and 13-10 before Franklin Pierce made its comeback.

Senior libero Lindsey Gleason (Hamburg, N.Y./Frontier) contributed 20 digs in the match as the Dolphins posted a season-best 115 digs.
