Wesleyan's momentum continued into the second set, taking the first three points including a service ace from Nicole Venema.  The Hawks responded with a 5-0 run to take their first lead of the set.  A tightly contested set didn't allow the Hawks to gain more than a three point lead.  Quincy held the lead the majority of the set until a block by Sierra Morrow and Lydia Jackson gave Wesleyan a 24-23 lead.  The Panthers took the second set 25-23 after a ball handling error on the Hawks.
