In set one, Lindenwood rushed out to a 4-1 lead and led from then on out.

In set two, the teams fought through 15 tied scores and five lead changes. Southern led 15-13 midway through and led again 19-17 late. Lindenwood, however, fought back and tied the set at 20 and went ahead 21-20 en route to the set win.
