The Lynx came-from-behind twice, at 1-0 and 2-1, to force a fifth set and win the match. Fresh off their first conference win on Saturday over Oglethorpe, Rhodes moves to 8-10 overall and 2-5 in the SAA as the young Lynx earned one of their biggest wins of the 2015 season.

The second set was a different story.

Rhodes did have 13 kills in the set compared to nine errors.

The Lynx hit their lowest percentage in the third set, hitting only .075, despite 10 kills while Berry was red hot, hitting .241 and only committing two errors in the process to roll through the third set with a 25-15.

From there, the Lynx turned it on to another level. In the critical fourth set, the Lynx had 15 kills to only four errors (.268). With the score tied at 16, Rhodes proceeded to score six of the next seven points to pull ahead 22-17. Berry would rally back to make it 22-21, but the Lynx held strong, scoring the final three points to win the set and force a fifth set, 25-21.

In the final set, each team exchanged points back-and-forth with the Lynx clinging to a 10-9 lead. Rhodes would take all of the momentum as they scored the next four points behind two kills from Bishop to move ahead 14-9. After a Berry point, freshman Caroline Perlis put the match away with a kill to earn the huge victory, 15-10. Rhodes was outstanding in the fifth set, hitting .304 with nine kills to only two errors. Bishop had three kills in the final set while Williams, Platt, and Perlis all had two each.
