Set by Set (25-19, 25-23, 25-20)

• As has been the case throughout the streak, Omaha had completely blown things wide open halfway through the first set. Down 10-12, the Mavericks scored five unanswered points thanks to a couple Kansas City errors and kills from Marriah Buss, Kali Jurgensmeier, and McKenna Ruch. Then, after the Roos finally got back on the board, Omaha answered with six straight points including a couple more kills from Buss, a kill and two blocks from Ruch, and a service ace from Olivia Curry. The Mavericks would cruise to victory after this, capping off the set with another kill from Jurgensmeier.
• In a near mirror of set one, Omaha was down 8-9 early on in set two, before going on an 8-0 scoring run to retake the lead permanently. Mariah Murdie book ended the rally with a kill to kick things off and a block assist to close it out. Shayla McCormick also notched back-to-back kills during the rally. The Roos did manage to make up some ground on the Mavericks, eventually getting within one point as Omaha only led 24-23. Thankfully, McCormick shut them down with one last kill.
• Omaha didn't miss a step heading into set three, as McCormick kicked things off with another kill, followed by not one, not two, but three aces in a row from Sami Clarkson. From there, the Mavericks never relinquished their lead as Jurgensmeier added five more kills and three blocks, while McCormick and Ruch combined for nine more kills as well. The Roos did give Omaha a late scare as they again attempted a late comeback to trail by just 23-22, but McCormick and Jurgensmeier came in clutch yet again to close out the set and finish off the sweep.
