Tilghman battled back in the second set and took the set 25-20 to even the match at one set apiece.
Like the opening set, the third set was another battle down to the wire, with UHA taking the win 25-23 to go up two sets to one.
The Lady Blazers then closed out the match with their best set of the night, taking the fourth 25-17 and taking the match three sets to one.
