The second set was almost identical, when Lasell again broke open a 5-5 tie by scoring 14 of 16 points to take command, before closing out the Pride 25-9.

Regis battled back in the third set, jumping out to a 9-5 lead and getting three kills from Carroll in the early going. The Lasers drew even at 9-9, and the teams traded the lead back and forth until the third set was tied at 16-16. Lasell went on a 5-0 run to take a 21-16 lead, and following a Regis timeout the visitor's tallied two straight points to cut the deficit to 21-18. Lasell responded, getting kills from Tim Anderson and David Farwell (Agawam, Mass.) to close out the set and the match.
