The first set began with seven straight Oswego State points, as three service access in the final four points of the stretch from Gordon powered the Lakers to the early lead. The Cardinals were able to respond with four straight t points themselves, but a 4-0 run from Oswego put their lead back at seven with an 11-4 lead. After twice pulling to within four points, a four-point swing for the Lakers pushed their lead to 19-9 as they cruised to a 25-16 first-set win.

In the second set, the Cardinals were able to push to a 7-3 lead early after picking up four straight points and later extended their lead to 13-5 as Ganz had a kill and three straight service aces. After moving the score to 14-8 in favor of Plattsburgh, Oswego scored eight straight points to take a 16-14 lead. Despite the momentum swing, the Cardinals still battled, pulling to within one point, down 21-20, after a Girma kill. However, the Lakers rattled off four straight points, winning the set 25-20.

The third and final set saw the Cardinals jump out to multiple four-point leads, as they led the Lakers 14-10 after an Iris Mulvey (Middle Island, N.Y./Longwood) kill. Once again, Oswego was able to pull off a huge run, however, scoring seven straight points to go up 17-14. The Cards got to within two points late in the set once more, trailing 21-19, but four straight points from Gordon sealed the win as she helped the Lakers earn the win with two service aces to end the match.
