The Bearcats regrouped hitting .350 in the second set (25-17) and .368 in the third (25-11) to take the lead.

York jumped out to a 4-1 advantage early in the fourth set, but the Bearcats took control to walk off before the snow started with a hard fought 25-22 victory and 3-1 final score.

McKee finished hitting .353 with 15 kills, seven blocks and five digs. Chris Kaimis was busy with nine kills and digs each, while Brian Coniglio dished out 26 assists in the comeback victory.
