The Falcons won the first two sets 25-19 and 25-17, then the Mustangs grabbed a 25-22 win in the third. The Falcons clinched the victory with a 25-17 win in the fourth set.

“Both teams played hard and put forth a ton of effort,” said Falcon coach Kendall Harper. “O’Neal’s strong points were communication and serving.”
