Alverno looked to take control of the match in the second set early, scoring the first five points and leading 10-9. But, the Raiders went on a commanding 12-4 run to take a 21-13 lead and then evened the match at 1-1 with three-straight points. MSOE hit a dazzling .484 in the set, finishing with 18 kills compared to just three errors.

The third set was another come-from-behind frame. The Red & White trailed 20-16 late, only to rebound with five-straight points for the first of four-straight lead changes. The Raiders claimed the final lead change at 24-23 as part of three-straight points to get in the driver's seat in the match at 2-1.

In the decisive set, the teams traded points early before the Inferno crept out to a 12-11 advantage. The Raiders then took control of the set with a 7-1 run to open a five-point lead at 18-13. MSOE did not let the Inferno any closer than three the rest of the way and claimed the match win with a Mylin and Bintz block.
