Morgan Coulter's ace put the Rams on top and Jessica Wells' kill gave BC a two-point lead 16-14 at which time Union called time. Reese Turner's kill put Bluefield up by three, their largest lead of the set. A pair of kills by Coulter gave the Rams a 24-19 lead and the Rams took the opening set on a return by Leslie Flores.

In set two the Rams scored five unanswered to build a 9-4 lead, thanks to the play of Wells and Flores. Union responded and closed to within two, forcing Bluefield to call time. Out of the break Bluefield continued to hold the lead with Union getting as close as three, 21-18. Turner's kill made it 23-19 and the Rams won the set 25-20 on Wells' kill.
