In set three, WWU opened up a 6-2 lead but the Lady Broncos picked up multiple kills from Taylor along with a kill from Rachel Hefta which erased the Owl lead. Hastings would build a comfortable 18-14 lead before scoring the final seven points of the match which had two Taylor kills, two Kaitlin Thiebauth kills and a kill from Sophie Stevens to end things at 25-14.
