Another kill from Monk and an ace from Nix -- one of three on the night for her -- put the YellowJackets ahead 23-22. After McMurry tied the score again, a service error and a kill from Smith gave LeTourneau the set.

The second and third sets featured a combined 24 ties and seven lead changes as both were decided by the minimum.
