The Yotes took command early in the second; generating a 5-1 lead off an Lili Brochado kill. The Cavs climbed back to tie the set at 8-8 and briefly took the lead at 10-9 off a C of I error, but the Coyotes used a 6-1 run spree en route to the 25-19 win.
CU finally got on the board first in the third set and enjoyed a 3-1 early lead only to see the Yotes score seven straight points with a pair of kills coming off the arm of Liz Myers. The Cavs rallied to within to within 24-22, but an attacking error doomed the comeback attempt.
