Dillon got an ace that made it 8-6 before Hoang took to the line with her team trailing 9-7. From that point, she served up five consecutive aces and the Dawgs scored seven straight points on her serve and never looked back, pulling away to win the set 25-16 for the 2-0 lead.
 
The third set was the most closely contested, featuring six ties and two lead changes but SWOSU found themselves leading 17-12 following a kill from Jenny Tackett.
