Game four proved to be another close contest as the score remained tied as late as 18-18. ECU took the lead at 19-18 and went on to take the game, 30-23, and the match, 3-1.

"I was extremely pleased with the way we played this evening," said ECU head coach Colleen Munson. "We hope to carry the energy from this win into tomorrow night's match against Marquette and pull out our first conference win of the season."
