The Rams then shut down their comeback with an 11-3 run to go up 21-11 and look to take a quick 1-0 lead in the match. Victoria Smith and Sydney Alexander helped lead the Rams during their effective run, and even helped set the Rams up 23-13, but it was Bernal once again with two service aces to close out the set with a final score of 25-13 and that gave the Rams an early 1-0 lead.

The second set started out with things much closer as both teams battled back and forth, but the Rams had the first separation as they found themselves up 8-5. The Golden Eagles soon after went on a five point run and had their first multipoint lead of the game as they led 12-10 in the middle of the set.

The Rams, with the help of three kills from Loes Peijnenburg, went on a seven point run to take the lead 21-18 late in the set. The Rams defense was the deciding factor late as they forced the Golden Eagles to have some costly errors to eventually take the set 25-20 and a 2-0 lead.

Ruby Romhor added two service aces and a kill from Alexander to take a 15-6 advantage as the Rams looked to make it a 3-0 match.
