Campbellsville defeated Bethel University and Mid-Continent 3-0, beat Martin Methodist 3-1 and lost a squeaker to Union University 2-3 (17-15 in the fifth set).

After a service ace by Samantha James in the fourth set that gave CU a 23-22 lead, the Tigers committed two attack errors and were beaten on a Shelby Swink kill.

In the fifth game, where no team lead by more than a point, Union used a kill by Marcela Madeira and a service ace by Emmie Moroski to seal Union's win.

Campbellsville rebounded with a straight-set victory over Mid-Continent (25-8, 25-15 and 25-12) before taking Martin Methodist in four sets (25-14, 21-25, 25-16 and 26-24).
