The Beacons followed this with 12-4 run to extend their advantage to 18-9. Valparaiso finished the set with a 25-14 win.
- Numerous kills and service aces gave the RedHawks a 7-4 lead at the start of the second set. The Beacons tied the set at 8 apiece, but Miami regained the lead at 12-11 thanks to an Ellie Hanson service ace and Williams kill. Despite a strong push from the Red and White, Valparaiso took the set 25-17.
- In the beginning of the third set the Red and White trailed 6-4 after Breannah Peterson knocked down her third kill of the match (career-high). The Beacons eventually stretched their lead to 19-12, before Miami used a flurry of kills and service aces to bring the score to 20-18. Despite the effort, Valparaiso won the final set 25-19.
