Down 6-2 to start the match, Omaha rattled off six unanswered points to go ahead 8-6 before SDSU called a timeout. The two teams reached a 9-9 tie after back-to-back kills by Beaner and Hennen, then traded scores to bring it to a 21-21 lock on a Conlin kill for the 13th tie of the set. SDSU then took advantage of two Maverick attack errors and added a Hennen kill to make it 24-22. After a Torson kill brought UNO within one, SDSU eked out a 25-23 win on a final kill by Beaner, which was her ninth of the game.

South Dakota State broke past an early 5-5 deadlock in set two, building a 10-5 lead after a 5-0 run. The Mavericks then went on an 8-2 spurt of their own to go ahead 13-12, but the battle continued as nine more ties brought the set to 21-21, the last thanks to an Angeli kill. The Jackrabbits, however, used three kills by Hennen and Mattison Munger, plus a block by Beaner and Mikala Hora, to close the set at 25-21.

An even game three included six more ties and four lead changes. Omaha worked past a 20-20 stall to go ahead by two on consecutive kills from Angeli and Torson, which forced a Jackrabbit timeout. Out of the break, SDSU pulled within one on a UNO service error and followed with kills from Ashlynn Smith and Nazya Thies, prompting Omaha to call a timeout of its own. But the Jacks capitalized on a pair of Maverick attack errors on the next two plays, finishing the set on a 5-0 run to win it 25-22 for the sweep.
