Cornell jumped out to a 7-4 lead thanks to a pair of kills from Robinson to go along with a kill from Wemhoff, Wilson and Phelps, as well as a Phelps' service ace, but Harvard used kills from Walters and Bain to get back into it at 7-7. The Big Red scored the next five points behind a pair of service aces from Kiley McPeek and two kills from Kit McCarty. With a slim 15-13 lead, Cornell used another run that featured a kill and a service ace from Wemhoff, as well as a pair of blocks that each featured Wilson, to push its lead to 20-13.

After a Crimson service ace, back-to-back kills from Sroufe and McCarty made it 21-21 and the score would be tied again three times more down the stretch before a kill from Weghorst and a Cornell ball handling error gave the home team the 27-25 victory.
