Samantha Celek and Hannah Vadakin had aces earlier in the set and Taylor Willis' seven-point service run gave the Cobras a 13-5 advantage.

A block by Dezirae Mackey and Sarah Robertson slowed Coker's run, but Catie Truzzolino's kill on match point sealed the win for the Cobras.

After dropping the first two sets, Mount Olive used White's kill and a Rocha/White block in a 4-0 run to take a 17-14 lead in the third set. Coker got as close as 20-19, but Nicole Powell came off the bench to serve an ace and White's kill on set point kept the Trojans in the match.
