The Lady Lancers (17-15, 8-8 CL) trimmed Taylor's advantage to one point late in the set, but the Trojans ended the set with a kill and a block to win 25-22.

Grace could not find its offense after the opening set. Taylor went on to sweep the match 25-12 and 25-13 as Grace mustered nine kills in each of the final two sets.
