The Wolverines hit .212 as a team, putting down 10 kills, while the Crusaders tallied nine errors. Madonna would claim the fourth set 25-19 and take the match. 

Marisa Fetterley led the Wolverines with 10 kills in 22 swings. Fetterley added five digs and was strong at the net, tallying six blocks. Jill Paryaski was behind her with nine kills in 21 swings while stuffing the Crusaders four times. Kenzie Mertz led the match with 19 digs, while Laura Chandler recorded double-digit digs.
