Grove City (9-15, 6-6) took the opening set 25-9. The Jackets (1-21, 0-15) rebounded in set two and trailed just 17-16, before falling 25-20. Waynesburg continued its solid play into the third set, where it built up leads of 16-11 and 21-17. GCC rallied to end the match on an 8-1 run that concluded with a 25-22 final score.
 
Senior Shannon Morgan and sophomore Jordyn Wyllie tied for the team lead with seven kills each. Sophomore Sydni Ayers posted 16 assists, three kills and a team-high seven digs for a well-rounded effort.
