The Raiders rolled late in the set, closing on an 8-1 run, capped off by an ace from Knutson to win the set 25-13. 
• The Inferno didn't shy away in the second, staying within striking range and then going on a 7-0 run to take a 19-16 lead. A kill from Alyssa Rusch lit a fire into the Raider offense from then on, closing on an 8-1 run to take the set 25-22. Continuing to battle to begin the third, three straight kills from Knutson sparked a 5-0 run to lead 16-13.
