Trailing 2-1 in sets, dropping both by the two-point minimum, Malden fought back and took another very close decision to win the fourth set and tie the match at 2-2. Malden kept on task in the fifth and deciding set, winning by a 15-11 margin to win the match. Revere fell to 8-9 overall with the loss while Malden improved to 8-4 with the win.
