Although Ball State went on to take a 5-3 lead, Miami quickly evened the score at five apiece with a solo block from Lydia Michelin. The Cardinals built an 18-7 lead when Hanson sparked a 4-0 run with two kills, putting the score at 18-11. Ball State refused to let the RedHawks close the gap and finished the set with a 25-15 win.
Ball State jumped out to an 8-3 lead at the beginning of the third set. Miami answered as Lindy Radaszewski and Warrick combined for the RedHawks' next five points, narrowing the gap to 9-8. After an attack error from the Cardinals and a kill by Molly Creech, Miami remained in the fight at 16-12. However, Ball State ultimately fended off the RedHawks, taking the third set 25-16.
