The `Runners jumped out to a 17-10 lead in the second set, but UVU was able to fight back and eventually tie it at 22-22.  It was also tied at 23 all, 24 all and 25 all before Utah Valley would go on and win the second set 27-25.  After two sets, Hayley Roberts, senior from Bakersfield, led the `Runners in kills with six and Lopes continued to lead the match in digs with nine.

The Wolverines jumped out to a 14-11 lead in the third set and then UVU went on an 11-5 run to finish off the three game sweep of the `Runners.  CSUB's Haynes led all players in kills with 11 and Lopes led all players with 14 digs.
