NDSU carried the energy into the second set putting together a 7-1 run that was capped off by a kill from Peters to make the score 19-9. Following two points from Oral Roberts, the Bison pulled away with four straight points to push the edge to 24-11 with an ace from Cathy Porter. NDSU closed out the frame, 25-13.
