Following back-to-back close losses in games two and three, the Orange evened the match at two games apiece in game four behind Quigley’s 16 assists, Kaup’s 13 digs and Cobbina’s eight kills. Syracuse led by as much as eight points before finishing the win 30-26.
In a back-and-forth decisive game five, Cobbina and MacTavish each posted two kills while Quigley tallied four assists and Kaup recorded nine digs. Wisconsin-Milwaukee (1-1) edged the Orange in game five, 15-13.
