Set Two:
The second set was extremely competitive between the teams, as both squads traded blows for the majority of the set. SMCC took a 21-22 lead and appeared to have the momentum to take a consecutive set until MCC went on a 3-0 scoring run to steal set two and tie the match 1-1.
Set Three:

Set Four:
Early in the fourth set it seemed as though SMCC controlled all momentum and would glide to victory as they held an 8-2 lead early on. Just like in the third set MCC would not go down so easily as they would tie the game at nine a piece, and would go on one of their best runs of the season scoring 11 straight points and taking a 22-11 lead. Mesa would win the set 25-15 and tie the match at 2-2.
