The Mavericks never trailed in the opening set, going up 8-4 on a Wollak kill and a Taylor/Schimmer block. Omaha then took a substantial 18-12 lead with the help of back-to-back kills from Horkey and Wollak and three straight Bear errors. Another Wollak kill made it 20-14 and pushed Central Arkansas to a second timeout. The Bears then committed two more errors, and combined with a Bailey ace, a Wollak kill and a Schimmer/Schmale block, Omaha clinched the first game at 25-15.

Central Arkansas led most of the second set, evening the match at 1-1. Omaha pulled within one nine times before tying it at 18-18 on two Horkey kills and an O'Shaughnessy/Schmale block. The Bears then capitalized on three UNO errors to go up 21-18, but Omaha made it a one-point game three more times, the last on an O'Shaughnessy kill. UCA, however, used a Maverick service error and one last kill to finish it off, taking the game at 25-22.

The third game was tight from the start, pushing to a 9-9 tie. From there, the Bears went on an 11-2 run, which was broken up by back-to-back kills from Wollak and Schmale to make it 20-13. UCA held off Omaha by at least six for the remainder of the set, going on to a 24-17 win.

Trailing early in the fourth game, Omaha got within one at 10-11 on two straight kills from Taylor and Schmale. Spurred by a 6-1 run, UNO finally regained the lead at 18-15, then stretched it to a 21-16 lead on a Schimmer kill. After three consecutive UCA points cut it to 23-20, Horkey and Schmale each put down a kill, and a Schmale/Horkey block closed it in the Mavs' favor, 25-20.

In the decisive fifth set, Central Arkansas overcame an early 3-0 UNO advantage with a 7-1 run that made it 7-4. Kills by Horkey and Schimmer, as well as a Horkey ace, then got the Mavericks within one at 9-8. After making it a one-point game again at 11-10, two Wollak kills put Omaha on top, 12-11. UCA, however, seized momentum with a 4-0 run, taking the game 15-12 and the match 3-2.
