Belhaven led 15-14 midway through the first set before LaGrange pulled ahead 23-18. The Blazers answered with four straight points, including two Woodall kills and a

Cami Davis kills and an
Angel Edwards service ace. The Blazers never trailed again in the set, holding LaGrange to a .000 hitting percentage to even the match.
The third set was the tightest of the night. LaGrange erased a 21-15 deficit and drew level at 22-22, but
Megan LaCour delivered back-to-back kills before Woodall closed the set with an ace. In the fourth, Belhaven turned a 6-4 deficit into a 9-6 lead on a five-point run. Woodall supplied eight kills in the final set, and
Laila Gauthier finished the match with a kill.
