In the second set, the same problems would continue to haunt the Jets.  With the Jets trailing 14-9, the Bearcats would go on a 11-7 run including a 5-0 run.  Northwest Missouri State would take the second set by a score of 25-16, leading the match 2-0.

In the third and final set, the Jets were looking to avoid the sweep.  The Jets would make the third set close but would ultimately fall short.  With the Jets trailing 21-18, the Bearcats would finish off the Jets on a 4-1 run to win the set 25-19 and the match 3-0.
