Las Vegas, NM– The Cowgirls matched up with the Grizzlies for the second time in a week.
 
The Cowgirls took the lead early, but miscues and errors began to add up tying the first set and the Skyhawks got a run going giving them a lead. The Skyhawks held the lead going into the Media timeout. The Skyhawks began to run away with set one but the Cowgirls said "not so fast my friend" as they battled their way back as all the Skyhawks only needed one point but decided to call a timeout in an attempt to reset and reset they did they getting the point they needed to win set one and take a 1-0 lead in the match.
 
Phenomenal rallies were the theme of set two by both teams as the two were battling for the points. Despite the good rallies Fort Lewis was able to get runs midway through the set and that was enough cushion to run away with the set and take the victory in set two to make it a 2-0 lead.
 
The Skyhawks were at the top of their game in set three as the Cowgirls could not seem to find a way to slow them down. The Cowgirls eventually found a way to slow the momentum however the Skyhawks took advantage of a couple of service errors accompanied by some hitting errors by the Cowgirls to take a commanding lead. The Skyhawks were able to complete the victory and the sweep.
