McNeese scored seven straight points early in the 1st set, including four errors by the Golden Eagles, to take a 9-3 lead. But the road side fought back to tie the set at 13-all on a Pancratz kill, and it was the senior who killed off McNeese's set point when they had ORU down, 24-23. The Golden Eagles took the next two points for a 26-24 opening set victory.

Pope started a five-point rally early in the 2nd set, staking ORU to an 8-3 lead, and the Golden Eagles never looked back. McNeese could never push past ORU, and home team attack errors on the final two points gave the Golden Eagles a 25-18 win.

ORU gradually wore McNeese down in the 3rd set, never trailing but also never leading by more than six points. A Pope kill gave the Golden Eagles a commanding 20-14 lead, and a combined blocked by Rosa and Pancratz at match point ended the match with ORU on top, 25-20.
