Early Dominance
In the first set of the match, Menlo decided to establish their dominance early on with a series of kills and blocks. The set saw five tied scores and a few early lead changes, but Menlo's offensive pressure and solid defense helped them pull away by the midpoint of the set.

Academy of Art wouldn't back down, but the Oaks offense and defense just proved too much to handle, as the Oaks took the second 25-19.

Art U put up a fierce challenge as they briefly took the lead as their offensive play tightened up. With no clear picture of who was going to take the third set, Menlo was able to regain control in the last quarter of the set with critical kills and service aces that closed out the set and the match 25-21!
