Both teams battled to a 5-5 score until Stillman scored five straight points to take control of the second set. The lead ballooned to 19-10 following an ace from Lawson, and the Tigers maintained control on the way to a 25-13 win. 

USSU held a very brief lead using a service ace to go up 1-0, but three straight points, including a pair of aces from Conley, to take a 3-1 lead. Stillman's lead swelled to 18-9 following an Eagles' attack error. The largest lead came at the end with an Eason ace to bring the match to an end and collect the 25-15 third set win and seal a 3-0 match victory.
