The third set was the final set of the night and Rodriguez came out swinging right away as she had five kills.  ERAU scored the first 5 points before the Pioneers got a kill of their own and make the score 5-1.  After the teams traded points and UAV was able to get within three points at 12-9, Embry-Riddle scored the next four to pull away from the Pioneers on a Lily Figgins (St. Charles, Mo.) service ace and kills from Clear and Katie Rolle (Missoula, Mont.).  ERAU closed out the set 25-13 as Sydney Sniffen (Kapolei, Hawaii) added an ace and Juker added another kill.
