Set 3 continued to show Beaver at the top of their game, quickly outpacing Du Bois both on the scoreboard and on the court. Sophomore Amanda Mike had 6 kills and 3 attempts in the set, helping to keep the ball in Beaver's possession. Beaver took set 3 with a score of 25-15.
Set 4 had a few moments where the score went back and forth between both teams, but Beaver continued to handle their game in a proficient manner. This set gave the team 7 kills and 35 takeaways. In the end, Beaver overcame the match 25-17, winning the game 3-1. Senior Roxy Kie led the pack with 24 assists in the game, while sophomore Brooke Tomasco had 7 aces.
