Nevada came out much hotter in the second set, knotting things up at 7-7. All tied up at 15-15, Nevada took its first lead of the match at 16-15. The Pack went up by as much as 19-15 before Wyoming hit a bit of a run, cutting the lead to 19-18 and forcing the Nevada timeout. Up 21-20, Nevada called another timeout, but it was the 'Pokes who would score first to tie it up at 21 all. They then scored the next point to take the lead back, going on to win the set 25-22.
 
Despite coming close in some sections of the frame, the Wolf Pack couldn't build a lead in set three, falling to Wyoming 25-19 and 3-0 in the match.
