Campbell took control of the first set thanks to an early 9-4 run. High Point closed to within three late in the set at 22-19, but an extended rally went the Camels way, which buoyed Campbell to a 25-20 victory. CU recorded four blocks in the first set and outhit HPU, .290-.119.

High Point would get no closer, and fell 25-18. The Camels hit a robust .462 in the second set, while the Panthers were held to .273 due to five errors.
 
The third set provided the most drama. Four early ties gave way to a Campbell run that put the Camels ahead, 19-15. High Point rallied to even the match at 19, only to fall behind once more at 24-22. Facing elimination, the Panthers got a block from Freiberg and freshman Molly Livingston and another on a Campbell error to tie the set 24-24.
 
CU continued to press, earning multiple match points that HPU was able to counter all the way to a 29-29 tie. From there though, a service error and block from Campbell gave the Camels the win on their eighth match point.
