The third set belonged to the hosts in the early going. Jumping out to a 3-0 lead, the Yellow Jackets held on to the lead until an ace by Raimondo tied the set at 11. Heidelberg built a lead at 15-14, then never allowed BW to string together more than one point en route to the win.

It was Heidelberg's turn to race out of the gate in the fourth set, as the Tricolor built a three-point lead. BW battled back into the set, but never managed to take a lead. Scott closed the match with a kill.
