West Georgia responded and kept the Blazers from tying the score. 

The Blazers used back-to-back aces from Kayla Widera for a 21-21 score, but a kill from Ambrose, an ace and back-to-back kills gave the Wolves set point. Anjelina Webb tallied a kill sending the match to the fourth set, 25-22.

A miscue on the Wolves gave VSU its first lead since 1-0 in the set at 21-20, but West Georgia responded, tying the set at 23.

Chubilleau got a big kill for a 24-23 lead and the first match point for the Blazers. A service error tied the set at 24 and Chubilleau had a kill for a 25-24 lead, but the Wolves tied the set for the 10th time at 25.

A miscue on the Wolves gave VSU its third match point and Widera earned the winning kill for a 27-25 win.
