Game one was a battle as the two teams went back and forth. The Wolves got up by as much as five half way through going up 21-16 but the Saints fought back to tie it 25-25. Up 29-28, going for the game point, SMU committed an attack error tying things back up. Both teams continued to go point-for-point until with the score again tied at 32-32 Western Oregon got back-to-back kills from Kayla Mainer for the win. The Wolves took control in game two quickly building a 20-7 lead. With the score 4-4 Western Oregon went on a seven point run to pull ahead 11-4. They would put together a five point run and another seven point run later in the game to put the Saints out of reach. Game three stayed close throughout. While neither team was able to pull away by more then three, the Wolves maintained the slight edge until the Saints tied it at 18-18. From that point on Saint Martin’s never allowed WOU to regain the lead and went on the take the game. The Saints built a 6-0 lead in game four only to see the Wolves score 11 of the next 15 to tie it 11-11. Up by one at 16-15, Western Oregon put together a nine point run to increase their lead to ten, a deficit the Saints could not recover from. Shealun Campisi posted 21 digs and 14 kills for the Saints. Andrea Tarbet had 13 digs and 12 kills while Malia Ibarra and Kimber Simonetti added 12 digs each.
