The Pride trailed early in the opening set, but settled in nicely to take a 13-12 advantage after a kill from Martin.  The Fighting Saints regained the lead 18-15, but the Black and Gold answered back with a 22-20 advantage thanks to a kill from junior Carissa Jones (Whiting, Ind./Bishop Noll).  PNW closed out the set nicely and won 25-22, to take a 1-0 advantage in the match.
