The second set saw the Lady Storm take the lead early and gradually extend it over the course of the set. Hopkins Central would eventually claim the set 25-17 to go up 2-0 in the match.
Hopkinsville came out and took the lead early in the third set and looked to gain some momentum in the match. However, the Lady Storm would use a couple of big runs to gain control. With Hoptown up 7-2, Central scored seven straight points to go up 9-7. The Lady Tigers roared right back with five straight points of their own.
Then, with Hopkinsville up 18-12, the Lady Storm ran off 12 straight points to grab control of the set. Central would go on to claim a 25-18 win to complete the three-set sweep.
