Empire built a 17-9 lead over Sabino in the first set but the Sabercats battled back and eventually took a 21-19 lead after a massive 13-2 run. The Ravens took a 24-22 lead in the set but a service error and an ace from Chloe Tague tied things up 24-24. Maliyah Johnson hit Sophia Vera to put Empire back up 25-24 and then Vera served an ace for the 26-24 win….
