In game two, Piedmont had a one-point advantage late in the set, 18-17, until Piedmont scored five consecutive points to swing the momentum to give the Lions a match victory, 25-20.
Agnes Scott tied the third set with a kill, but a Lions error and back-to-back kills gave ASC game three, 25-22.
In set four, both clubs battled for the lead but a pair of hitting errors created separation and helped PU tie the match at two apiece.
In the deciding set, the Lions rallied to score six straight points to take the lead. ASC fought back to stay in the game, but PU closed out the match on a 4-1 run to win the match.
