After a 25-4 loss in the first set, Stillman benefited from Stillman errors to even the second set early, 2-2. Aeraeonna Manuel collected her first kill to break a seven-point Faulkner run, 9-3. The point sparked a five-point run for Stillman to close the gap, 9-7. A Kendall Rice kill regained Faulkner's advantage, but a Manuel block cut it to two again, 10-8, before the Eagles broke serve. Faulkner built an eight-point lead, 21-13, before a side-out set up three-straight aces by Manuel to pull Stillman within four points, 21-17. The Eagles took the set, 25-18.

Manuel led Stillman with five kills, followed by Khadeja Bryant's two. Katelynn Madison finished with five assists and Grace Fjeldstead had one. Madison Bubel led the defense with six digs. Tiana Lawrence had one ace. 

Haven Oweings led Faulkner with seven kills. Charlee Jordan and Rice each had six. Jordan and Elisa Landry had five digs on defense.
