The Buccaneers fought hard, but the Lady Sharks took the match in five sets. Miami Dade College won the first set 25-16, lost the next two 17-25 and 21-25, and won the final sets 25-14 and 15-12.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSome girls probably thought that we were going to lose the game,\u201d said freshman defensive specialist Stephania Vallejo. \u201cBut Kiko talked to us and asked us to calm down and to take the game point by point and set by set. So we did and it worked out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the final game, MDC once again faced Florida Southwestern, who defeated Polk State College in the lower-bracket final 3-0.
