HOW IT HAPPENED
SET SCORES: 20-25, 25-23, 25-13, 23-25, 15-10
 
Davenport had to fight from behind after the set, which saw the ball bounce the Rangers way. The set was within a couple points for the majority of the time, up until the 28th point. Davenport trailed 14-13 after a kill by Ashley VanderHorst, then Parkside four of the next five to build a four-point lead. The Rangers went another run by scoring four of the following six points, giving them a 22-16 lead. Parkside closed out the set and took a 1-0 lead. The second set was an extremely close battle throughout. After 32 points the set was tied 16-16, then Davenport made a move. The Panthers racked up five unanswered points to take a 21-16 lead. The lead was jeopardized late for Davenport when they only led 24-23, a kill by VanderHorst closed the set and created a 1-1 tie.
 
The pivotal third set was up for grabs and Davenport snatched it up quickly. The Panthers used momentum from winning the second set into the third set and built up a 9-4 lead after a kill by Jessica Marvin. VanderHorst subbed into the match and Davenport scored six of the next eight points, building up a 15-6 lead over Parkside. A five-point run late in the set by Davenport all but guaranteed a win. The Panthers led 24-11 after the five-point run and the set-winning kill belonged to Sami White, assisted by Jenna Asper. The fourth set was a must win for the Rangers and they pulled out a 25-23 win to force a fifth set.
 
The fifth and final set was interesting. The Panthers trailed 8-5 after back to back points by the Rangers, forcing Head Coach Megan Lenhart to take a timeout. Following the timeout Davenport scored nine of the next 10 points, forcing Parkside into two timeouts during the stretch. The match-winning kill was cranked home by Jenn Kay Vander Meer, assisted by Sydney Tracer!
