New Haven responded right out of the gate in the third set, jumping to an 8-0 lead before forcing a Trojan timeout. Clawson was able to settle the nerves, turning the tables on New Haven to go on a 13-3 run. The Trojans once again held onto their lead, and after a big block from Liford to give Clawson the match point, Kauffman put down the winning kill to close the third set at 25-19.

Clawson improves to 7-0 in the MAC Silver, and 15-4 overall.
