Henderson State came back to even the match in set two. HSU libero Bethany Wright served six straight points to erase a 16-15 Barry lead and the Reddie held on for the equalizer.
In the third set, coach Frederico Santos went the to bench for Julie Priester and Lovisa Johansson and the pair sparked the Bucs over the final two sets.

Alcantara led the Bucs with 17 kills, while Julia Teixiera added 13 and Julia Ridley had 12. Spenser Rigg had 23 digs, while Alcantara and Ridley closed out double-doubles with 16 and 12 digs respectively. Setter Libby Walter directed the offense to a .319 attack percentage with 37 assists.
