Barber added another kill along with three in a row from Haase to give Embry-Riddle a 14-12 advantage.

The second set began like the first with the teams going back and forth. ERAU didn't really pull away from the Pioneers until Barber had a kill to put the Eagles up by two points with the score at 17-15. Ching then added her third service ace of the night to force a PUC timeout, however right out of the timeout, Ching did it again as she had an ace to make the score 19-15. After two kills by Pacific Union, Hansen and Rolle each had one to give Embry-Riddle back their four point advantage at 21-17. Another service ace, this time by Hie Loui (Honolulu, Hawaii) and a kill by Rodriguez ended the set 25-18.
With the Eagles up two sets to none, Barber started off well again with a kill to put ERAU up 1-0. PUC scored the next couple of points on Eagle errors and a few kills of their own as they took an 8-5 lead and forced an Embry-Riddle timeout. ERAU battled and regained the lead at 13-12 as they scored six points in a row. Embry-Riddle moved the ball around well offensively as down the stretch Hansen, Clear, Rodriguez, Barber, and Haase all had kills and the Eagles won 25-16 and the match 3-0.
