They then responded with a 4-0 run, capped by a Yelland service ace and a Ross kill, to level the score at 15-15. The Yellow Jackets pushed ahead 20-16, but consecutive kills from Marjanovic brought the Eagles within a single point at 23-22. However, Georgia Tech converted back-to-back kills to close out the set 25-22.

The Yellow Jackets carried momentum into the second frame. After Boston College scored the first two points, Georgia Tech used a 6-1 run to go ahead 6-3. Up 11-8, Georgia Tech staged a 5-0 run to extend its lead to 16-8. The Eagles fought back late, using a Ross kill and an McBride service ace to make it 23-16, but Georgia Tech secured the 25-17 set to take a 2-0 match lead.

Georgia Tech broke open the third set with a high-powered offensive display, hitting .469 in the final frame. The teams traded points to a 6-6 tie after a Marjanovic kill, then the Yellow Jackets ran 11-2 to take a 17-8 lead.
