In the final set the Dolphins fell behind early but they were able to regain control and begin chipping away at the Pride's lead. Erika Moncada smacked a kill to cut the lead to 14-9 to keep her team in the match. The Pride would grow their lead to 20-13 but the Dolphins wouldn't go away, forcing the pride to earn their victory.
