The Lions would even the match in the next frame thanks to a 11-2 run and took the set with ease 25-16.   CU showed some muscle following the break and returned the favor to control the third set to win the frame 25-18 over the Lions.

With the CU advantage in the fourth set, neither team seemed to take control until the Lions went on a 5-0 run to take a 21-16 lead.  Cameron couldn't close the late gap would fall 25-18 and for the third match in a row the Ags were pushed to a decisive fifth set.

Commerce opened the frame with a four unanswered points off of a kill and three CU errors.  The Aggies were not done though and battled back late to tie the set at 11 after a pair of kills from Cristina Viera.  After trading points, Commerce pushed CU to match point a 14-13 after a kill before the Aggies responded back with pair of kills from Shannon DuLaney to push the Lions to match point.
