In the opening set, multiple Southeast errors aided a 3-0 Lingle lead.

A kill by Southeast junior Sydney Anderson and an ace from senior Jordan Stoddard tied the match at four, but back-to-back aces from LFL sophomore Natalie Speckner put the Lady Doggers back in front.

In the third, a pair of serving aces from Lingle junior Baylee Skinner highlighted a 4-0 run early in the set.

The Lady Dogger lead reached as many as seven at 13-6 following an ace serve by freshman Brenly Shipp and a double hit by Southeast.

However, just like in the previous two sets, Southeast stormed back, tying the match at 16 apiece. A four-hit possession by Lingle and an ace by Herring pushed Southeast back to the lead. Two kills by Anderson and another four-hit possession by LFL, secured the sweep for the Lady Cyclones.
