USI (6-7, 4-0 GLVC) overcame a five-point deficit in the opening set and a four-point deficit in the second frame to build a 2-0 lead in the match. The Screaming Eagles used a late 5-0 spurt to earn a two-point win the first game and a late 4-0 push to earn a three-point win in the second stanza.

The Eagles used an 8-1 rally to overcome a seven-point deficit in the third set. They had a 5-1 spurt later in the frame to pull in front; then capitalized on a pair of UW-Parkside errors to earn the final two points and complete the three-set sweep.
