The Jets would lose momentum quickly with eleven handling errors letting DBU hang in the match. The Patriots would rally using a 17-4 run capturing the second set 25-17.

The Jets having fallen behind 2-0 in the match would continue to fight but it would be all Patriots in the third set cruising to a 25-13 match victory.
