Toledo persevered throughout the back-and-forth first frame, eventually pulling within one, 19-18, on a kill from Vidourek.

Third Set: The Midnight Blue and Gold came out for the third set with a renewed energy. Looking to mount a comeback in the match, the Rockets once again jumped out to an early lead in the third set, by a score of 5-1. The Falcons would not go down easy, however, as they stormed back to bring the set level at 8-8. The score would remain close throughout the majority of the third set, until three straight kills and a Falcon attack error gave Toledo a 19-15 lead. Despite a late Bowling Green rally, UT was able to take the third set 25-21, and brought the match to 2-1. Beasley, Chloee Kleespies, and Emma Swope all had late kills that were crucial to Toledo's third set triumph.

Fourth Set: Bowling Green once again allowed the Rockets to take an early set lead before coming back to even the set score at 4-4. As they did for much of the evening, the two teams continued to swap points; there were nine tie scores in the fourth set, the most of any game tonight. This was the trend until 11-11, when Toledo scored four straight points to bring the set to 15-11. A service ace from Vidourek and a pair of terminations from Beasley fueled the Rockets' run. The Falcons would answer with a streak of their own, taking a 17-15 advantage. The score would remain close through the remainder of the fourth set, until a late surge from the Falcons would seal the victory in the set, 25-21, and the match, 3-1. Beasley and Vidourek did their part in the match's final game, recording five kills apiece. Townsend had a hand in many of those with her 13 assists.
