In the third set, the Tigers would open with two service aces by Kiara Reyes. The Wave would come out with their best start of the night and only trail early 8-5. Their height began to play a factor at the net as they blocked plenty of Queensborough attacks. The Tigers would then capitalize on Kingsborough defensive lapses to increase their lead to 14-7.
