SET ONE
Indiana State jumped ahead early as the Raiders played catch up and tied the score several times throughout the set, eventually leading 20-19 on a Martin kill. Indiana State then tallied the next four points to regain control, as an ISU error and an Ott kill pulled Wright State to two points late before a final kill gave the Sycamores the early lead.
 
SET TWO
An early 6-0 run by Indiana State gave them a 10-7 advantage, but Wright State used a six-point run of its own to take an 18-15 lead thanks to kills from Bransfield, Martin and Ott. An ISU kill momentarily broke the Raider momentum, but they responded with three kills from Ott as part of a 7-0 run to win the set as Wright State tallied 11 of the final 12 points in the frame.
 
SET THREE
Back-and-forth early, neither side was able to gain firm control until the Raiders tallied five straight points for a 16-11 advantage. Four straight points from Indiana State pulled the set back to a one-point margin, where it stayed until Wright State ended the set on a 5-1 run thanks to two service aces and a pair of kills.
 
SET FOUR
A set of runs by both sides, the Raiders used an 8-3 spurt to take a 12-8 advantage behind three kills from Ott and a pair from Alders. Wright State later had a stretch of six of seven points behind multiple kills from both Bransfield and Ott to push to a 20-13 lead. A final kill from Alders pushed the set to match point, where an Indiana State attacking error ended the afternoon.
