Campbellsville (4-5, 2-2 MSC) could not overcome 32 attack errors, in addition to 13 on serve. In the pivotal third set, the Lady Tigers crawled within two points three times and each time a service error reduced their opportunities to close the gap.

The second set was full of rallies as the score was tied eight different times. The Lady Tigers took advantage of a Patriot error and a kill from Annija Abolina to go on a 6-0 run to win the second set.

The Lady Tigers rallied back and forth in the third set until the Patriots took a 12-9 lead and the Lady Tigers never regained momentum. UC used a 13-6 run to finish the third set.
 

CU tried to rally in the fourth set, but could never gain the lead. CU hit .060 percent on attack compared to Cumberlands' .300. The teams were close in kills, 41-39 UC's favor, but the difference was on the defensive side of the net.
