The Broncos jumped out to an early lead in the opening set.

A late run in the second set gave the Otters a 25-23 win and evened the match at 1-1.  Once again the Otters saw the Broncos take a quick lead but CSUMB fought back to even it at 18-18 on a Freeno kill.  The Otters nabbed the win on a kill by senior middle Tiffaney Riggs.  Sena tallied three aces and five digs in the set while Fall continued to lead the Otters with six kills.  

The third set appeared to be a repeat of the second with the Otters attempting a late rally with a block by Fall and sophomore Lily Staight (Visa/Rancho Buena Vista HS) to make it 23-22 CPP.  After the Broncos answered with their own wall of a block, Staight crushed the ball for a kill. CPP's Taylr Kreutziger's kill gave the Broncos a 25-23 win. Fall repeated with six kills.

The Broncos slowly pulled away before going on a 7-3 run capped a Kreutziger kill.  CPP cruised to a 25-15 set victory to end the match.   Freeno led CSUMB's defense with eight digs while sophomore Lacee Ventura (Salinas/Salinas High) added six. CPP registered zero errors for a .375 clip.
