ATLANTA, Ga. -- The Lady Panthers put on a show for the alumni during Alumni Night in an intense five-set matchup against Albany State University. CAU won 3-2 to secure a postseason berth.

Set one was rocky for Clark Atlanta. They kept it close at first but struggled to score throughout the set. Errors, miscommunication, and out-of-bounds hits allowed Albany to gain points, causing CAU to lose the first set 25-14.

Set three had the crowd engaged. Electrifying the atmosphere, this was a close set. It began evenly, with both teams exchanging kills and keeping the score tight at 3-3. Albany State briefly pulled ahead due to a series of attack errors by Clark Atlanta, but Clark quickly regained momentum with crucial kills and a service ace by Mitchell. Drayton-Campbell's serving streak, including two service aces and several assists, helped widen the gap to 17-12. The set concluded with Madison Spells' decisive kill, clinching a 25-16 victory for Clark Atlanta.

Clark Atlanta took an early lead in the fourth set with strong kills and a service ace. ASU quickly caught up, leveling the contest. Both teams traded points, with players like McGee delivering key kills. ASU gained a slight edge with a service ace and solid blocks, but Clark Atlanta fought back, tying the score several times. The set remained close, reaching 23-23. ASU responded with two kills that won the game 25-23.

The decisive fifth set was a back-and-forth battle.

ASU countered with kills by Kennedi Wallace and Sydney Melton, along with a service ace by Kaylin Teasley. Clark Atlanta managed to pull ahead with consistent scoring. The crowd was electrified as both teams scored, fueling the Lady Panthers' energy. Ultimately, Clark Atlanta secured the match with a 15–11 lead over Albany State.
