Webber International came out early in the second set and again established a lead, 8-3. AMU climbed back to even the score at ten but Webber International won seven out the next eight points to build a big lead and didn't look back for the rest of the match.

After winning the second set 25-13, Webber International really hit their stride and built big leads from then on. They took the third set by the same score, 25-13, and closed out the match with a fourth set victory at 25-14.
