There were 40 tie scores and 14 lead changes in three extremely close sets.

The Golden Eagles broke an 18-18 tie in the opening set after a kill by Portillo and a block by Shelby Grubbs and Portillo and eventually got to set point at 24-20 after a kill by Santos. The Pioneers staved off two set points before a service error ended the set.

The second set was the closest of the three. Cal State LA took a set point at 24-23 after a kill by Azevedo, but the Pioneers got a kill by Kara Green and an attack error to earn their own set point at 25-24. A kill by Negron tied it at 25-25, a kill by Daisy Crenshaw gave the Golden Eagles a 26-25 lead and an ace by Negron ended the set.

The Golden Eagles trailed by as many as three points midway through the third set and Cal State East Bay led as late as 23-22. A block by Santos and Victoria Duarte and a kill by Duarte got the Golden Eagles to match point and a block by Duarte ended the contest.

The Golden Eagles honored their four seniors -- Julia Azevedo, Jessica Kaeka, Mickayla Sherman and Daisy Portillo -- in a ceremony before the match.
