In the opening set, the Hawks and Lady Panthers battled for control early in the contest.  With the score tied 6-6, Virginia Union took advantage of a 5-1 run to pull away 11-7.  Down but not out, Chowan clawed their way back from the deficit, knotting the score 14-14 after a Lady Panther service error.  A Virginia Union error on the next play pushed the Hawks ahead.  Chowan clung to a narrow lead until a kill by Oatley knotted the score 22-22 down the final stretch of the first set.  With the score knotted 23-23, a kill by Oatley and Chowan attack error handed the Lady Panthers a 25-23.   

The battle for momentum continued well into the second set.  With the score tied 5-5, a kill by Chase pushed the Hawks ahead.  Virginia Union stayed close on Chowan's heels before the Hawks pulled away 17-11 late in set two.  The Lady Panthers were unable to overcome the deficit, and the Hawks secured the 25-19 victory with a kill by Courtney O'Keefe. 

In set three, with the score tied 9-9, two Lady Panthers along with a kill by Makayla Castro handed the Hawks a 12-9 advantage.  Chowan maintained a narrow advantage down the final stretch of set three and survived a late rally by Virginia Union before securing the 25-23 win on a kill by Chase.

Virginia Union took an early 2-0 lead over Chowan in set four.  The Hawks battled back, taking advantage of Lady Panther errors for a 4-3 lead.  Chowan never looked back after securing the early advantage, and maintained the lead for the remainder of the set.  A kill by Spencer confirmed the 25-18 win for the Hawks. 

Chowan travels to Petersburg, Virginia November 18th-20th to compete in the CIAA Volleyball Championship.  The Hawks enter the tournament as the No. 1 seed from the CIAA Northern Division.  Bracket information and a complete schedule of events will be released as it becomes available.
