The score was tied 20-20 before Murray State took the lead. MSU took the next five points off of two kills from Taylor Olden, a kill from Scottie Ingram and two errors by Tennessee Tech. Murray State took the second set 25-20.
The Racers came out strong in the third set. They started with a 10-3 advantage. MSU went on a 15-8 run to hold the Golden Eagles to only 11 points in the third set. Murray State took the third set and the match with the 25-11 finish.
