An ace tied the set at eight before a Carly Nolan kill kept UC in front. The Bearcats took a two-point lead, 13-11, but four-straight Green Wave points shifted the lead. Despite UC keeping it close, Tulane escaped with the victory in the opening set.
Set 2: UC, 25-19
• UC had another good start in set two, starting out with a kill by Jade Tingelhoff. An ace from Sabrina Wolf and service error by Tulane put the score at 4-1 early on. Nolan added in an ace of her own to make it 6-3. Nine-straight Bearcat points caused two Tulane timeouts with the set at 15-6. The run started with a kill by Elly Ogle. A service ace by Ogle provoked the Green Wave's first timeout in the scoring spree. Out of the break, Maya Muldrow earned a solo block. The final point of the run came on another block, this time by Muldrow and Erica Kostelac. UC remained in the driver's seat for the rest of the set, as a block by Jasmine Jones would end it.
Set 3: UC, 25-17

The Green Wave did not go down easily, scoring four in a row to bring the lead within two at 20-18. They strung together another 4-0 run to take a slight 23-22 edge.
