The Seawolves continued their strong attack in the clinching set with another 15-kill performance.  Once again, they used a big run, this time 12 unanswered points to storm past the Wildcats.  Trailing 6-4, SSU scored the next 12 to make it a 16-6 on multiple kills by Richardson and Krist.  Five different Seawolves recorded kills in the final nine points as they would cruise to a 25-13 win.
