Blaine had to use their second time out after Jordan led 23-21. The Bengals did tie it at 23 after that, but Chambers rose to the challenge with her 10th kill of the set to give the ball back. A Blaine hitting error finished off set one.

8 straight side outs started out set two. Blaine again took a lead, winning the race to 10. The Bengals biggest lead came at 13-10.

Jordan led 21-17 when a three point run put them on the verge. Blaine sided out once more on a block, but the serving problem reared it's head again.
