In the opening set, the teams traded off points until it was 12-12. The Dutch went on a mini 3-0 run to go up 15-12. LVC eventually tied it back up at 18-18 and would ultimately take set one at 25-22.

In the second set, LVC  jumped out to a 10-6 lead, and later extended it 14-8. The Dutch would prove to be relentless, however, and began to creep back into the set. They would later pull within one of LVC at 18-17. LVC responded with a 6-0 run, capped off with a kill, to go ahead 24-17.
