Set one was close throughout as the teams traded points for almost the entirety of the set before Parkside took a 21-19 lead late. Following that point by the Rangers, the Lakers responded with the final six points, capped off by a Brianna Stawski block to take a 1-0 lead in the match. GVSU jumped out to a 7-1 lead in set two, but Parkside came back to tie the match at seven. However, GVSU retook the lead right away and held on for the rest of the set to take it 25-22. Once again, the Lakers got an early lead, this time in set three, going up 7-2 to begin the final set.
