As they would go through the rest of the half the Nighthawks would have their chance to extend the lead but the Eagles goaltender would make some great saves to keep his team in the game and that's where the second half would end. When the teams returned for the second half the Nighthawks would continue to control the game but the Eagles would have their chances to get the equalizer. The best chance would be right near the end of the game when they would send their keeper up to add an extra man as they try to get the tying goal he would get the header but it would go over the top as the Nighthawks would get the 1-0 win.

The Cardinals would have their chance in the first half to take the lead in the game, but the goal was called off on an offside. The game was starting to look like it would end in a zero-to-zero tie. The Engineers would keep coming, though, and with about 90 seconds left, they would find the back of the net on Sarah Sedlacek on her second goal of the season.

It would be a battle of a pair of undefeated volleyball squads from the Plattsburgh High Gym in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference Volleyball action in front of a packed house. It would be a great match from start to finish. The first game would be a see-saw affair, with the Eagles getting it at 25-21. In the second game, it would be more of the same, but it would see the Hornets get out to a 23-17 lead, but the Eagles would go on a run to tie it at 23, and then they would need a volleyball version of overtime to get a winner as the Hornets take the second game 28-26. Then it would be onto game three, and with them splitting the first two, it has become a best of three, so this would be a vital same, and once again, it would come down to the end, and the Hornets would take the game 25-23 and take the 2-1 sets lead. Then it would be onto elimination game four, and the Eagles were not about to fly away without a fight. They would take it to the Hornets in game four by winning it 25-20 to force the deciding game five.

The game would start well for the Lazers as they would score twice in the first five minutes from Josh Dabbiero and Kyle Partington for the early 2-0 lead. From there I thought the Cougar's defense would stand strong for the first half and that's where we would stand at the end of one. When the teams returned for the second half Kyle Partingtonfor the Lazers would score three straight goals in fourteen minutes to give the 5-0 lead. Then in the 70th minute, the Lazers would add another goal this time from Samuel Spicer, and take the 6-0 lead.
