The Conqs started off with the lead once again, but it didn’t last long as the Lady Saints went to score seven of the next eight points to make the score, 7-3. Seward then went on to gain a 14-7 lead before DCCC went on a 5-0 run to cut the lead to two.

SCCC continued to fight and extended their lead to eight with a 6-0 run. The Lady Saints once again handed the Conqs points off of service errors to allow them four of the last six points. The Lady Saints won the third and final set by a score of 25-18.
