Stevenson trailed 19-16 in the first set when it ran off five straight points to take its first lead, 21-19, on a Nightwine service ace.  McDaniel responded with five of the next six points and was serving for set point up 24-22 when back-to-back kills by Weaver and Schwartz tied the set.  The Green Terror reclaimed the lead on a Mustang service error, but a Weaver kill, a block by Schwartz and freshman Victoria Prokic and a McDaniel attack error closed out the frame.

The Mustangs led 11-9 in the second set when a 6-2 run capped by a kill by senior Kristen Brooks gave Stevenson a 17-11 lead.  McDaniel did get the lead down to four, 19-15, but were unable to get closer and a Prokic kill closed out the set.  The Mustangs hit .417 in the second set with 17 kills and just a pair of errors.
