Setting the offensive attack was Mia Caporellie who recorded a season-high 53 assists, the most ever by a Griffins player in a four-set match.

In addition to the three attackers reaching double figures for digs, libero Torrin Kelley added 19 to the Griffins season-high team total of 80.  April led the team with four blocks.

The Griffins battled from four points down late in the first set, 22-18 to tie the score at 22-22.  Chestnut Hill faced set point three times late in the match only to re-tie the score with a kill or take advantage of a Wildcat error as they did in the final three rallies.  Trailing 27-26, a service error by Wilmington tied the score at 27-27.  Ramos followed with a kill and the Wildcats made an attack error on the next rally ot give the Griffins the set 29-27.

Wilmington scored the first six points in the second set and never looked back as they took the second set 25-13 to swing momentum back their way.

The momentum was still on the Wildcats' side, scoring three of the first four points in the third set before the Griffins rallied to take an early 6-5 lead on an April ace.  The Griffins expanded their lead to 14-8 following kills by Ramos and Grimes and later 23-13 after a kill from Kathryn Hanley.  Wilmington went on a 6-1 run before Ramos shut the door with a kill to end the set, 25-19.

Six ties and two lead changes highlighted the opening half of the final set before an 8-1 run by the Griffins broke a 13-13 tie and put the home team in control 21-14.  A kill from Ramos brought the Griffins to match point 24-17 but the Wildcats held off six match points to pull within one 24-23 before Hanley sealed the deal with a kill to win the set 25-23 and the match, 3-1.
