Trailing 2-1, the Yeowomen had their backs against the wall in the fourth set as they were behind 24-21, but a kill from Maddy Dunn kept the Yeowomen alive. First-year Claudia Scott then came through with two of her 14 kills in the match to even the score at 24.  Another kill from Scott would later make it a 26-25 Oberlin lead and then off of Scott's serve Altoona had an attacking error to give Oberlin the set.
