In the first game, the Huskies led early, recording three, four-point leads at 5-1, 9-5 and 12-8, but the Aggies rallied to tie the game at 12-12 on a Benjamin hitting error. Texas A&M then took the lead at 13-12 on a kill by Erin Gibson, but the Huskies equalized at 13-13 on a block by Benjamin and Richardson.
