After handling the first two sets, 25-22, 25-20, the Cardinals had to battle to secure the victory in the third set. Heidelberg were fighting to stay ahead the entire third frame, going ahead by as many as three points towards the end. However, kills by Kristen McIntosh, Kiana Walker and Sydney French secured four of the final five points to give them a match victory.
 
Walker finished with 12 kills and 12 digs in the sweep, while junior Delayne Young added nine kills of her own. Four blocks from the senior, French, fueled the defense of the Cardinals.
