Set 2 showed endurance from both teams as they bounced back from an extended scoring gap. VSU was down 7-1 to start the set, but managed to jump ahead securing a 14-9 lead. A small lead change did not keep the Trojans down as they battled to gain and maintain control. After tying the game 25-25, back to back aces from Zaria Hill lifted the Trojans to a 27-25 win.

The final set ruled in favor of VSU as they held the lead to take the 25-18 win.
