The Seminoles responded early in the second set, using a block, an ace and a Pitt attacking error to turn a 7-5 deficit into an 8-7 lead. The teams traded points before Pitt took a 15-11 advantage into the media timeout. Back-to-back points brought Florida State within four at 18-14, forcing a Panther timeout, but Pitt closed the set on a 7-2 run to take it 25-16.
