After a Scarle Mejia (New York, NY) service ace gave the Beavers a 6-3 lead in the third set, Medgar Evers rallied for six of the next eight points to pull ahead 9-8.  CCNY scored the next point to tie the score and send Harmabasic to the service line.  She served five consecutive aces to ignite a 13-0 rally that gave the Beavers a 22-9 advantage.  Harambasic had seven total aces during the run.  She assisted on Polanco's kill that set up match point at 24-12.  CCNY wrapped up the match with a 25-12 set win.
