Box Score PRESCOTT, Ariz.- Day two of the Orediggers trip through Arizona brought them to Prescott and a date with the Eagles of Embry-Riddle University. It was the Eagles night, as they took the home win over Montana Tech 3-1 (18-25, 25-21, 17-25, 25-27)
 
Montana Tech scored the first point in the match on an attack error. Unfortunately for the Diggs, they would never expand that lead above one point. Four times in the first set, Montana Tech grabbed a one-point lead, but they were unable to push ahead and get the win.

 Montana Tech wasn't done.

The Orediggers would scrape their way into a 24-all tie. After a pair of sideouts, the teams were tied at 25. That would be as close as Tech would get. Emma Barber would get a kill to put the Eagles up by one, and then an attack error would give Embry-Riddle the win 3-1.
