In the third set, Hostos looked poised to put the match away, holding a commanding 17-10 edge, but the Broncos scored seven consecutive points to knot the set at 17-all. Cabrera registered two kills during that aforementioned run, while Parrot recorded an ace. The teams then alternated the next six points, as the set was all tied at 20.

The Broncos held set-point twice, leading 24-23 and 26-25, but each time, Hostos answered with consecutive points.
