The second set went to the Lions in an exciting 25-21 win. Phil Swartz got things rolling late in the set with a five-point service run to put the Lions ahead 21-18. Diego Negron and Kirch each tallied five more kills, while Swartz put up four of his own, helping the Lions put on a powerful offensive performance. Brian Schwob contributed 13 set assists to round out the Lions' winning offense. 

Set three was tied all the way up to 12-12 until the Mastadons pulled away to make things 14-12 after back to back points. Purdue Fort Wayne held the lead for the next several points but the Lions closed the gap again late in the set. The score was sitting at 21-21 after a huge ace from Negron, who had an impressive set with five digs, eight receptions and two block assists throughout the set.
