The back-and-forth set was tied at the halfway point, 12-12, and North Penn generated a three-point lead at 16-13 and again at 17-14. Senior captain outside hitter Madlen Potrusilova became the primary outlet for senior captain Belle Mikulski and junior Sofie Potrusilova, assisting on five kills. The Lions' defense shifted into another gear, helping Faith Christian close the gap to 19-19, and went on a three-point run, leading 22-19. After a quick timeout, North Penn stormed back, tying the set at 22, and took a 23-22 lead before Faith tied the set 23-23. The Knights pulled ahead with a set point at 24-23 and an excellent opportunity to win the match. Junior middle hitter Maya Mikulski hit a middle quick just long. Faith Christian took advantage and closed the set 26-24.
The final set of the match was a testament to the Knights' resilience and determination. Both teams traded the lead, with the Knights eventually taking control.

After a quick side out, Belle Mikulski's strong serve built the lead to 22-12, and the Knights, with a display of their unwavering spirit, closed out the match 25-17 after a quick serving run by Faith Christian.
North Penn's 4-0 start is the best since 2009, and the 2025 Knights' campaign signals that they are a strong conference contender
