Earlham dominated the first two sets, hitting .243 and .275 respectively in the first two stanzas. The Quakers began pulling away from the Engineers halfway through the first set on a pair of 3-0 scoring runs, and used a five-point run off Wagner's serve to control the second set.

The Maroon and White used a six-point run with Giselle Mora serving to take a 15-10 lead in the third set, but the Fightin' Engineers clawed their way back into the set. The set was tied at 23-23 when a service error by Rose-Hulman's Allie Fults put Earlham on match point, and Young's ace closed things out in the Quakers' favor.
