Going into the first set of the night DBU would engineer a 7-3 lead to jump out in front of TAMIU. The Dustdevil's would climb back to tie up the score at 8, but would not be able to obtain a lead in the first set ultimately falling to the Lady Patriots, 25-20. In the second set it would be total domination by the Lady Patriots as they would jump out to a 15-5 lead over the Dustdevils. Despite a small run by TAMIU at the end of the set it was not enough as DBU would go onto win the set, 25-19.

Tied up at 16 in the third set, the Lady Patriots would end all hope of a Dustdevils comeback after putting together two separate three point runs to end the night in victory winning the set, 25-20 closing the match.
 
COACH'S QUOTE
"The difference between this win and others is that both our outside hitters were producing. That is a key to successful volleyball, great job on Krystal Wunderlich and Brooke Manley's part. What we've been working on is forgetting errors and I think I started to see that tonight. "-Coach Cathy Kokel
