The Tetons opened the match with a thrilling first-set victory, edging Dakota College 28-26 in a back-and-forth battle that set the tone for the night. Both teams traded momentum, but Williston State's poise under pressure allowed them to close out the set in extra points.

Riding the wave of their first-set win, Williston State dominated the second set, pulling away early and never looking back en route to a convincing 25-15 victory. The Tetons' balanced attack and solid defense kept Dakota College on their heels, giving the home side a 2-0 lead in the match.

However, Dakota College wasn't ready to go quietly. They stormed back in the third set, capitalizing on errors by the Tetons and finding rhythm with their own attack to win the set 25-17, keeping the match alive.
