The first set was a battle and swayed back and forth with the lead changing hands four times and tied another nine times.  TNU took a 12-9 lead and neither team separated from the other until late. With Trevecca leading 19-17 the Eagles outscored the Trojans 8-2 for the win. 

Trevecca scored the first point of the second set, but never lead again. Embry Riddle pulled ahead 19-11 and Trevecca closed the gap to just four (21-17), but could not get any closer. 

Trevecca finally pushed through for a win in set three. The Eagles jumped up 12-8 before the Purple and White rallied. It was a slow rise for the Trojans who did not score more than two points consecutively until the very end during the rally. On four different occasions the Trojans did get a side out combined with point on serve. On the fourth occasion the Trojans pulled within one at 21-20. Then, with ERU leading 23-21 and seemingly headed for the three-set victory, an attack error, fueled by a block by Katelyn Atkinson (JR/Hermitage, TN) and Loren Bennett (SR/Ooltewah, TN), preceded Atkinson serving out with three consecutive points on serve and a final 4-0 run for the win. 

The fourth set was all Eagles as they turned a 2-1 Trojan lead into a 10-3 advantage and the Trojans were never able to get any closer than five (14-9) the rest of the way. 

Alex Reuter (FR/Brentwood, TN) (10) was the only Trojan to reach double-figures in kills while adding four block assists. Atkinson added nine kills, five block assists, a solo block, and 14 digs.

Janessa Hodge (FR/Nashville, MI) added six kills and six block assists. Zakia Jackson (SR/Hermitage, TN) added nine kills and eight digs. 

The Knights of Bellarmine University never really let the Trojans into the final match of the 2015 SJC. Trevecca did open the first set with a 4-2 lead, but the Trojans never held the lead again. Trevecca did tie the set at 9-9, but BU rolled off a 13-2 run for a 24-11 advantage. 

The Knights held the lead from start to finish in set two. With BU leading 11-8, the Knights scored five straight for a 16-8 lead and never let the Trojans get within five the rest of the way. 

The Trojans were more competitive in the third set, a set that saw five ties and three lead changes. After BU held the lead early on, the Trojans took a 14-11 lead with the help of a sideout and then four points on the serve of Allison Boe (SR/Murrieta, CA). BU scored seven of the next eight points for a 18-15 lead. Trevecca made it 23-21 after a attack error by BU, but the final two points went the way of the Knights for the win.

Katelyn Atkinson had 11 kills and 12 digs for a double-double. Loren Bennett added 22 assists. Alex Reuter added another seven kills.
