Set 2
Notre Dame established a four-point lead at 11-7, its largest at the time, forcing BC to call timeout. The Eagles were able to fight back, coming within one point of the lead three different times. Notre Dame hung onto the lead throughout as BC dropped the set, 25-21.
Set 3
The set was tied at four all, but the Irish took the next four points after a series of attack errors by the Eagles to go ahead 8-4, forcing BC to call timeout. Notre Dame extended its run to 8-1, putting the lead at 12-5. After tacking on two more, the Irish forced BC to call timeout again at 14-6.
