Senior Kelvin Rolle added eight kills and sophomore Will Siwy had seven blocks. Junior Brian Bunch contributed six service aces.

Hilbert kept the third set close and drew within a point at 27-26 following the sixth kills of the match by Albert Carll. Nazareth gained its 27th and 28th points on a service error and an attack error respectively, then senior Chris DeHority closed out the match with a kill for the 30th point.
