Similar to the first set, CUW got off to a quick start to take a 7-1 lead and eventually built the deficit to 15 points, which was the largest lead of the set for the Falcons, and were able to hang on to win the second.
CUW closed out Rockford in the final set. The Regents were able to gain their first lead when they took a 3-2 advantage with kills from
