In the first set, kills by Pogue and Haines, plus an RMU error pulled the Jags back within one at 9-8 but after that Robert Morris started to pull away. Pogue had another kill to make it 12-10 but the Colonials scored six-straight to take an eight point lead. Alan's block made it 19-12 but that was the last point IUPUI would score in the set as RMU took set one 25-12.
 
The second set started out with IUPUI falling behind 8-1 but the Jags started to claw their way back in to the set. A kill and ace by Haines sandwiched a kill by Schuenemann and IUPUI tied the set 11-11. With the score tied at 12, Robert Morris used a 6-0 run to break open the set and create a deficit IUPUI could not overcome. The Jags pulled within two twice, at 20-18 and 21-19, but another run by RMU gave the Colonials a 25-20 set win.
 
Set three was back and forth as IUPUI tried to extend the match with the Jags using a 4-0 run, with a kill by Haines and block from Schuenemann and Millai Madison to take a 14-13 lead. IUPUI was then plagued by errors as Robert Morris scored nine-straight to jump ahead 22-14.
