Later in the set the Phoenix scored five of six with a Garcelon and Alexis Landis (FY, Parkesburg, Pa. / Octorara) block tying the set at 13-all before a Masalyna Miller (FY, Greencastle, Pa. / Greencastle-Antrim) ace put the Blue and White up by one. Kills from Garcelon and Abby Moreland (Jr., Sabillasville, Md. / Catoctin) helped keep the Phoenix in front as late as 16-15 before St. Mary's went on a 10-1 run to take the set.
