In the first game, a traditional set, the Bearcats took an early lead but fell behind in the mid-stages, before falling by a score of 808-776.  Freshman Olivia Emmonds led the way with a 198 game.

Up next was a Best-of-7 Baker set, and SVC lost the opening game by a score of 181-174.  In game two, the Bearcats fought back and won by a score of 176-160, to tie the set at one each.  SVC lost a heartbreaker in game three, 158-155, but came back strong in game four with a 193-133 win to tie it at 2-2.  D'Youville took a 3-2 lead by winning a 178-163 decision in game five, putting the Bearcats' backs to the wall.  The team responded with a 190-134 win in game six to tie the match and send it to the last game.  SVC came up with its best game of the evening to that point, shooting a 201 and pulling away to a 60-pin win to earn the point.

The final point of the night was contested in another Best-of-7 Baker set.  D'Youville took an early lead in game 1 before the Bearcats stormed back with four consecutive strikes to take the lead.  However, the hosts came back to win 197-183 to take a 1-0 lead.  The next four game belonged to the Bearcats, as they won 191-148, 219-176, 165-156 and 191-127 to earn the win.
