After the final tie at 18-all, the Coastal offense came alive, finishing the set on a 7-3 run and taking a 2-1 match lead.
The fourth set was nothing different than the first three--a tough battle. After six ties in the beginning of the set, the Chanticleers built up a six point lead before the Campbell offense came alive. The Camels went on a 6-1 run and tied the set back up at 18-all, but it was the last time Campbell came that close as Coastal finished the set strong and won the match.
