Though the Warriors got on the board first in the opening set, the Jacks responded with six kills to grab an early 7-3 lead—all three of CSUS's points came from attacking errors on HSU. The Warriors came back from a quick timeout ready to close the gap and successfully did so, tying the score at 12-12.

Fett came back with two kills and CSUS captured one more point off another attack error from the Jacks. 

After a service ace by McCray brought the score to 24-23, Humboldt State called a timeout to slow the ending of the set down, but the Warriors came back and finished the job, capturing the set 27-25.

Ashley Neale sent the ball down for a kill to put the Jacks in the lead, forcing Cal State Stanislaus to call a timeout. The Warriors came back on the court and added two kills trying to seal the deal. HSU tied the score one more time thanks to a kill by Rosendale. An attack error by Janay Bankston put the Jacks in the lead 25-24; however, CSUS's Marsh answered right back with a kill to tie it up again at 25-25. A bad set by McCray and a service ace from Eva Chafeh gave the Warriors the two points needed for a second set win.
