WOU fought off two game points by the Wolves - the last on a kill by Hornback to tie the match 25-25. After an attack error by the Yellowjackets (), Sidney Friesen served up an ace to close it out for WOU.

The Wolves pulled away late in the fourth set with a Maela Honma kill capping off the set and the match.
