HOW IT HAPPENED
SET 1
Smith came out strong in the opening set, earning a 6-1 lead before the Lyons took over and ran away with the set 25-12. 
SET 2
Unforced errors once again hurt the Pioneers in the second set, while Wheaton received solid serving from MacGregor, Houghton and Palomba who combined for six aces. 
SET 3
With the third and deciding set tied at 14-14, Wheaton responded with a 3-0 run that saw kills by MacGregor and Cansler and another Houghton ace. The mini-run shifted the momentum in Wheaton's favor, as the Lyons never let Smith closer than three points the rest of the way.
