In set three, Jackson gave Henderson an 11-10 advantage and the Reddies built a 13-10 lead behind the serving as Delaney Price. Three more kills down the stretch by Jackson along with Price's serving led to four straight Reddie points which propelled Henderson to a 25-18 win.

It was much of the same in set four. However, it was the serving of Abby Blackburn that broke an early 4-4 tie as the Reddies scored four straight points with the help of attack winners by Violet Williams and Hartmann.

Jackson later recorded four straight kills as Henderson pushed its advantage to eight points with Destiny Haynes providing the final spike of the match to secure the win for the Reddies.

With the score tied at 14-14, Henderson scored four straight points courtesy of a pair of kills by Bolf and another by Hartmann. The Reddies scored five consecutive points down the stretch behind the serving of Sydney Skelton.

The two teams battled back-and-forth in the third set with Henderson rallying again thanks to Bolf's six winners.

The Reddies had a chance to win the set following a pair of kills by Hartmann to put Henderson on top 27-26. However, St. Edwards scored three straight to win the set and go on top 2-1.

Henderson fought back in the next set behind five attack winners by Bolf and four by both Hartmann and Greene to force a fifth and decisive set.
