Senior outside hitter Julie Haake had five kills, three digs and one block in the loss. The CSUN middle duo of Melissa Eaglin and Rachel Diaz had a combined 17 kills, but CSUN struggled offensively hitting .108 (31-20-102) as a team.

CSUN trailed the 49ers in the second set with 21-10. Long Beach called for a timeout with a slim 3-pont lead (22-19). The Matadors once again narrowed in on the 49ers (22-21), nearly took the set, but fell short 25-21.
