Two attacking errors from Fort Wayne and a Shiah Sanders kill put Western up 3-0. Fort Wayne put together seven of eight points later in the set to go up 19-12. A kill from Shalyn Greenhaw, a service error and an attacking error from Fort Wayne kept Western in the set, but Fort Wayne took the third set 25-16.
