The Braves opened strong in the first set, leading by as many as six. Mount Olive responded with a 5-0 run sparked by kills from Ashlyn Haynie and Olivia Melvin, plus a service ace from Tanton, narrowing the gap to 21-20. Despite the surge, the Braves claimed the set 25-23 after back-to-back Trojan errors.

Determined to extend the match, the Trojans battled through a back-and-forth fourth set. Melvin and Landis powered the offense, helping Mount Olive edge out a 25-23 victory to force a decisive fifth.

Sheaffer opened the fifth set with the serve, sparking an early rally that cut a 4-0 deficit to 6-5. After falling behind 9-5, kills from Landis and Danielle Parker narrowed the margin again. Down 12-11, the Trojans closed with a 4-0 run fueled by a Haynie kill, a Braves error, and back-to-back UMO blocks to seal a 15-12 win.

Mount Olive recorded a season-high 64 kills, surpassing its previous mark of 63. Melvin led with a career-high 19 kills, while Haynie and Landis each added 13.
