SET ONE
Neither team held more than a two-point advantage up until Southeastern held a 19-17 lead. Henderson used a 4-0 spurt to jump ahead 21-19 and then 24-21 after the Savage Storm tied it up at 21-21. The Reddies were unable to capitalize on three match points, however, as SOSU rallied for the 26-24 opening-set win.
 
SET TWO
After Southeastern held a brief lead to open play in the second frame, Henderson broke through with 11 of the next 12 points to claim a 14-7 advantage. The Savage Storm were able to make it respectable late in the set, but the outcome was never in doubt as HSU got itself on the board, 25-16.
 
SET THREE
With one set victory under its belt, HSU maintained the momentum, scoring the first five points of the frame. The Reddies continued to build their lead to 11-3. Henderson never let the Savage Storm get closer than five points the rest of the way as Henderson took the third set, 25-13.
 
SET FOUR
With Henderson standing one set away from leaving Durant with the victory, Southeastern opened the fourth set with other plans, holding a lead all the way through after HSU registered the first point. Southeastern saw its best hitting set in that fourth stint, seeing a clip of .244.
 
SET FIVE
Southeastern leaned on its home crowd for the race to 15 to close the night, with the Savage Storm holding an early 6-4 edge. After the Reddies found themselves down 7-5, Henderson overcame the home crowd and put together a 5-0 run to see the 10-7 lead.
 
Mendoza Quintana came through for the final blow, posting four of her 21 kills during the final five points of the match to secure the HSU victory, 15-9.
 
Henderson State (16-6, 5-4) returns to the Duke Wells Center for another pivotal back-to-back, meeting the current number 22 team in the country Oklahoma Baptist Bison on Thursday, Oct. 22 before facing Southern Nazarene on Friday.
