With the Seawolves' victory and a Cal State San Bernardino loss to Cal Poly Pomona in five sets, Sonoma State (18-5, 16-3 CCAA) extends its lead in the CCAA standings by one and a half games with three to play in the regular season.  The Otters dropped to 8-12 in conference play and 8-16 overall.

The second set saw the Otters jump out to a 7-2 lead, but the Seawolves chipped away and tied the set at 10. The Seawolves nursed a lead at 20-19, but the Seawolves took the next five out of six points to secure the victory and 2-0 lead entering the third set.  In the third set, it appeared the Seawolves would have an easy time closing out the contest after taking a 20-9 lead. But the Otters scored 11 out of the next 14 points to close the gap to 23-20. The Seawolves regrouped in time to clinch at 25-20 victory to sweep the Otters.
