3-2 (20-25, 25-27, 25-17, 27-25, 15-2) win over Toccoa Falls College.

After the Eagles took the first two games, the Falcons took game three by a 25-17 score.  In game four, Pfeiffer fought off the potential match-clinching point from TFC, eventually taking the 27-25 win to force the deciding set.
