The Regents crept back to within 16-12 before St. Norbert responded with a 5-0 run and a 21-12 edge and an eventual 2-0 lead.

The Green Knights held a 10-8 lead in Set 3 but another 6-0 run for a 16-8 lead took all the mystery out of the outcome. After a St. Norbert service error, the Green Knights scored the final nine points of the match, capped on the last two points on a pair of Carley Varoni service aces.
