In the second Morgan Covington (Katy, Texas) helped Dartmouth jump out to an 11-6 lead by serving eight straight points. Houston served seven straight points late in the match as the Big Green won easily. In the last set the two sides played fairly evenly early on as the Friars never allowed Dartmouth to go up by more than two points. But a kill and a service ace by Baird helped give the Big Green a 13-9 lead. PC got to within three at 16-19 but never got closer.
