GREENWOOD, S.C. - The No. 11 University of North Georgia pushed sixth-ranked Lander to the brink, but the Bearcats rallied late to take a 4-2 win and advance to the Peach Belt Conference Tournament Championship match Monday afternoon.

With the match on the line, Zach Waldow forced a third set in his match on the fourth line, giving time for Ryan Gaskin to win on the top line, 6-4, 6-4. Ultimately, it was the Bearcats who earned the fourth point, winning in third set tiebreaker at No. 4.
