Wofford held the edge from the very beginning, jumping out to a 15-10 advantage to force an ETSU timeout midway through the first set. Both teams traded points prior to a Kennedy Smith kill from Hodsdon allowing the Terriers to hold serve for the remainder of the set. Chasidy Sharpe held serve for the Terriers, kick-starting a five-point run that deflated the Bucs in the first set, 25-15. During the run, three ETSU errors, including a Millie Loehr solo block, set up a 23-15 lead. Sharpe then landed an ace on ETSU's Sydney Cherney before Loehr would send home a kill to conclude the set in Wofford's favor.
 
The Terriers came out in the second set spirited, up 5-1 early, before ETSU stormed back to knot things up at 7-7. After exchanging points, kills from Smith and Riley Coonan allowed for a 14-11 cushion, as an ETSU attack error and solo block from Bella Zeman then forced the Bucs to talk things over, trailing 16-12. The Bucs cut the margin to two, after an Emily Hodsdon ace ensued out the break, though, Wofford held steady with a 21-18 lead late. The Bucs brought the deficit to one (22-21), though, resilience on kills by Coonan and Zeman set up Emily Hodsdon on serve, as Hodsdon connected on back-to-back aces to claim the set victory, 25-21.
 
Wofford blitzed ETSU in the third, busting a 12-4 lead to again force ETSU to call a timeout. With Chasidy Sharpe on serve, the Terriers pushed a 4-0 run as kills from Coonan and Barham went on to set up an 11-point lead at 19-8. A subsequent ETSU attack error forced another timeout, at 20-8, before another Hodsdon service ace and Kelly Hubbard kill pushed a 22-8 spread. Zeman collected her ninth kill, prior to a Kelly Hubbard block and Kennedy Smith swing ending a 25-10 rout to close the match.
