The turning point of the match took place in the second set with the Bearcats trailing 23-19, but they battled back to win 27-25 to even the match at 1-1. They carried that momentum the rest of the evening en route to the title and 3-1 win.

For the second straight season, Jack Centeno was named the Tournament MVP. He totaled 12 kills and 10 digs tonight. Ryan Oommen and Defeng Han were each named to the CUNYAC All-Tournament Team.
