The first set was a tightly contested battle, with Montclair pushing Millburn to the brink before the Millers managed to close it out late, 25-22. Montclair showed resilience but struggled to contain Enzo Zemlickas, who led all players with 9 kills and 2 blocks.

The second set saw Millburn take control, using efficient ball movement led by Ishaan Modi’s 22 assists to pull away. Montclair had flashes of strong play but couldn’t mount a late rally, falling 25-16.
