Things turned quickly back around as the lead was lost and a 15-3 was seen. FDU attempted to close the gap one last time with five straight aces but were unable to tame the Cougars and lost the set by a 25-14 score.

Set 3: From the very first point, the set seemed that it was going to be a close one as three ties were seen within the first 10 points.
