GAME TWO 0-3
A slow start ultimately doomed the Bears in set one (11-25), but the second set saw TMU battle to keep the score even (11-11). The Saints, however, went on to close the set on a 7-2 score to go up 2-0 in the match. Although both teams were neck and neck until point eight, the Saints pulled away to clinch the sweep over the Bears.
 
Mitchell led the defense with nine digs, while Saintilmond led again with eight assists and added seven digs. Conners also had seven digs. Trammell led the offense with five kills, Mitchell had four and Adams had three. Trammel also had three blocks.
