Set 1 (25-17) | Brittany Major and Roberta Todd notched the first two points of the match to spark the Bears to a quick 18-7 advantage. The Mocs generated five-straight points to pull within five (22-17), but it would be Mercer to take the final three points to win the opening set, 25-17.

Set 2 (25-11) | After a Todd kill and a Megan Smith service ace, the Bears ignited an early 17-7 lead. The Bears continued the match by generating a 8-4 run which included one kill apiece for six different Bears (Major, Paige Alsten, Maddie Nunley, Annie Karle, Alexia Morey and Danielle Faust), closing out the second set 25-11.

Chattanooga knotted the set up five different times (9-9, 11-11, 17-17, 18-18, 19-19) before the Bears notched the final four points to win the match 25-20.
