In the third set Webster sealed the match in dominating fashion with a 25-8 win. This is the widest margin of victory this season and the Gorloks improve their overall record to 8-9, and SLIAC record to 5-3.
In the second set Webster held an eight-point lead before allowing Blackburn to 10 of the next 11 points to put the Beavers ahead 23-21. Webster would regroup and take the final four points of the set to win 25-23.
The Gorloks took the first set 25-20 thanks in part to six kills by Jordan Price which led the team. Blackburn was not able to capture the lead throughout the entire set.
