Lynchburg and Randolph-Macon came out evenly matched in the opening set. However, towards the midway mark of the first frame, the Yellow Jackets found their groove and went on a 6-0 to create separation and ultimately pull away. Randolph-Macon went on to clinch the first frame 25-18.

In the second set, Lynchburg quickly found themselves with a 9-4 deficit. Nevertheless, Lynchburg battled back to keep the contest competitive. However, a 7-1 run by the Yellow Jackets would once again create too much separation for the Hornets to overcome. Randolph-Macon would claim the second set 25-16. 

The Yellow Jackets closed out the contest in the third set, jumping out on top of Lynchburg 12-4 to begin the final period. Both sides recorded their lowest attacking percentage of the night in the third set, the Hornets finished with - .05%. The Yellow Jackets concluded the affair with a 25-17 win.
