Pitt-Johnstown fell behind early in the final set, but Vrabel's kill got the Mountain Cats back to within one at 12-11, but that was as close as it would get.  The Raiders went on to outscore Pitt-Johnstown 13-4 the rest of the way, including Kendall Johnson's kill that gave Shippensburg a 25-15 victory and closed out the sweep.
