Emerson widened the gap in the second set with a final score of 25-16. Despite the score, Regis played competitive set while the Lions errors increased.

The third set was the closest of them all, ending with a score of 25-20. Although Emerson was able to maintain their lead throughout the set, Regis kept it close early on.
