After losing by nine points in the first set, Puget Sound kept pace in the second frame. The Loggers trailed, 9-7, when a kill by Kristen Miguel sparked a 5-0 run. Katarina Moffett followed with a service ace, and two errors plus another Miguel kill gave the Loggers a 12-9 lead.

Pacific Lutheran led late, 23-21, but a kill by Miguel brought the Loggers to within a point. However, the Lutes notched the next two points to win the set.

By the end of the night, Rachael Garrison led the Loggers with 20 digs, and Moira McVicar added a team-high 29 assists.
