The second set was a back-and-forth battle, beginning with a Kansas State lead. KU rallied back from the deficit created by the Wildcats and captured the lead for good on a kill by Jenny Mosser at 16-15. The Jayhawks maintained the two-point edge until a kill by Caroline Crawford gave Kansas the win at 25-23 and a two-set advantage.
Kansas State held the lead throughout the third set, despite the Jayhawks efforts to stop the Wildcat momentum. KSU captured the third set, 25-11, but Kansas rebounded quickly in the fourth.
The Jayhawks jumped out to an early lead in the fourth and maintained it until Kansas State tied it at 12.
