How It Happened
  • Omaha came out with an early 4-1 lead to start the first set. An error from the Mavericks gave the Fighting Hawks another point, but Omaha responded with five-point run putting them up 9-2. The Mavericks went on another five-point run to put the score to 15-6 with a block from Rylee Marshall, an ace from Shayla McCormick and a kill from Sadie Limback. Omaha continued its strong lead and ended the match on a Limback kill. Mavericks take the first set 25-13.

The Mavericks held the lead from this point with kills from Ruch, an ace from Sami Clarkson and a couple blocks from Ruch and Buss to reach a 23-15 lead. Omaha only allowed North Dakota two more points on the set and took the second set with a 25-17 win.
  • The Mavericks fell to a 4-1 deficit to start set three. Again North Dakota held onto the lead until a kill from Ruch tied the game 8-8. From there, Omaha pushed three straight points to give them the lead 11-8. Omaha gained momentum from there and pushed the lead to 18-10 after back-to-back aces from Jaiden Centeno. North Dakota tried to make their way back into the game with a couple kills but Omaha responded with kills of their own from Buss and Ruch to end the third set 25-16.
