Loyola would jump out to an early 4-1 lead, but the Tigers battled back to tie the score 8-8 and take their first lead 9-8 following a junior Elena Montgomery kill. Princeton capitalized on its momentum and took an 18-13 lead, but the Greyhounds narrowed the margin then went on a 5-0 that to help them ultimately prevail in the opening set, 25-22.
The opening stages of the second set were a back-and-forth battle; a service ace by senior Julia Schner would knot the score at 9-9. Loyola would then take a 22-16 lead, but a 4-0 Princeton run led off by a Luoma kill helped keep the Tigers in it and made it a 22-20 contest. Loyola would eventually sneak away with the set, 25-22.
The third set started off evenly-matched as Princeton refused to quit. Down 9-8, a Schewe kill sparked a 4-0 run that featured a pair of double blocks by Schewe and Luoma, and Schewe and Mahood that gave Princeton a 12-9 lead. A 7-0 Loyola run turned the ride, giving the Greyhounds a 24-19 advantage.
