WSSU would score one before the Big Blue would score the next three to take the set 25-14 and force the deciding set.
WSSU would score the first four points of set five, but the Big Blue would go on an 8-0 scoring run to take the 8-4 lead. This run included two ace serves from Jordan Duncan, three kills from Martin, one kill from Jutte and two WSSU miscues.
