Another kill by Roundtree staved off one set point at 24-23, but the Broncos got a kill by Duke and a block by Duke and Kaitlan Tucker to take the set.

The Golden Eagles bounced right back and evened the match with a strong second-set performance. The Golden Eagles used a 5-0 run to break a 14-14 tie to gain control.

A kill by Negron made it 23-18 and a kill by Elliott got the Golden Eagles to set point at 24-19. Cal Poly Pomona pulled to within 24-22, but a kill by Negron ended the set and tied the match.

Cal State LA then grabbed the lead with an outstanding effort in the third set. The Golden Eagles opened up a 12-4 lead after an ace by Ayjah Landers and weathered a Cal Poly Pomona rally that cut the margin to just two points at 14-12. Leading 19-15, the Golden Eagles got kills from Negron and Elliott, a block by Crenshaw and Cannon and two Cal Poly Pomona attack errors to get to set point at 24-15. After Cal Poly Pomona fought off one set point, a kill by Cannon gave the Golden Eagles a 2-1 lead.
