As NGU had 6 attack errors in the third, Lincoln Memorial took set three 18-25, giving LMU the match win 3-0.

Griffin Wheatley led the team in kills on the night with 12 kills, and Eliel Salva Torres posted a team-high 0.900 attack percentage for 9 kills and 0 errors. John Luers was the team-leader in assists with 35. Matthew Gentry, Luers, and Wheatley tied for the team-high in digs as they each had 4 .
