After winning the first set without trailing, the Beavers fell behind by as much as 7-13 midway through the second set.

Originally the point went in favor of Saint Clairsville but Beaver Local coach Sarah Lowe argued the ball was tipped by the opposition. After the officials held a conference, the call was reversed in favor of the Beavers. Then late in the third set with the score tied 20-20 a net violation by the Red Devils originally was not called. But after the Beaver Local bench disputed the call the officials once again talked the play over and reversed the call. Soon afterward the Beavers won the third set and the match.
Leading the way for the Beavers was Elizabeth Kolkowski with 11 kills, 7 digs & 4 blocks, Brooke Talbot with 11 kills, 6 digs & 1 block, Grace Hill with 5 blocks, 4 blocks & 2 digs, Karlee Furman with 23 assists, 6 digs & 2 kills, Cierrah Thurik with 17 digs & an ace & Kodi Kinsey with 16 digs.
