An Ashlynn Hughes kill then sparked a 10-1 Spartan run, opening up a 19-10 advantage. The Vikings put together a late run of their own, but MBU closed out the set 25-17, ending it with a service ace from Julia Reis Pereira.

Set three featured a back-and-forth battle with six lead changes. MBU held a 19-16 advantage late in the set before Missouri Valley closed on a 9-4 run to take the set 25-23. Setter Valentina Navarro recorded a season-high seven assists in the set.
