Although each run by the Owls was quickly answered by a Mariners run, eventually taking the first set. With the second set close early, the Mariners put together a seven score run to give them a 10-point lead. The Owls were able to answer later in the set with a seven-point run themselves, but the deficit was too much as the Mariners took the second set.
