The victory was win number 17 for Mayville State University this season bringing their overall record to 17-16 and their NSAA record to 6-2.

The Comets got out to a fast start winning the first two sets before VCSU got one back in the third. After a good back-and-forth in the fourth set MSU was too tough in the end and pulled away from the Vikings to complete the victory.

MSU was +7 in attack errors in the match, which proved to be a big factor in the victory.
