The Alumni team started to close the gap (12-17), but the Knights were still leading (14-22). With three points left in the game the Knights\u2019 outside hitter, Kalkidan Bekele, took the serve and Bojana Mitrovic scored another point giving the Knights team an eight-point lead once again (14-22). When it became match point, the ball was in the Alumni\u2019s court. Nadin Afify served, Bojana Mitrovic received, Yara El Zein set and Bojana Mitrovic spiked the winning point for the first set (18-25).

After the game the captains of both teams had comments about how the game went.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe game went really well, it was a bit competitive which is good,\u201d said Noha Massoud, the Alumni’s captain. \u201cWe were learning about each other and how to defend and attack each other\u2019s balls and techniques.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe played well as a team, all of us contributed and we did the best that we could,\u201d Bojana Mitrovic said. \u201cHowever, in the third set we lost our focus a little bit and the game didn\u2019t look so pleasant.\u201d<\/p>\n
