In the initial match against Roanoke, the Bruins faced challenges and lost 0-3, with set scores of 25-19, 25-23, and 25-17. Jashawn Sykes led offensively for Carolina University with seven kills, while freshman setter Kai Jamerson contributed 17 assists.

The Bruins then competed against Warren Wilson Owls and dominated the match with a sweep victory of 3-0. Set scores were 25-18, 25-15, and 25-16. This win marked head coach Jake Boldog's first collegiate victory. Sykes again led offensively with six kills, supported defensively by Wesley Diggs who achieved ten digs.
