SOU would use a 6-3 run to pull ahead by three points (23-20) on a Warrior hitting error before Corban scored two straight points to pull within one at 23-22. A kill by SOU's Liz Madden followed by a Teague kill would give the visiting Raiders set-point, as Madden ended the opening affair with her third kill for the two-point victory (25-23).

Southern Oregon would score the final two points on a kill by Madden followed by a Goudarzian spike that ended the middle set (26-24).

The third and final set would see a deeper Southern Oregon squad begin to show its dominance, as the visiting Raiders jumped out to a 10-5 lead on a combo block by Jordan Crossley and Nikki Keller. SOU would continue to apply the pressure, as the Raiders extended their lead to as many as seven points (17-10) on a Brookelynn Cole service ace.
