Palomar jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the third set, but Mesa came back as the two battled it out. In the end Mesa won the set 25-17 to take the match.

Freshman Janell Spires led the Comets with seven kills, while freshman Delina Becker finished the night with five. Freshman libero Cadence Young finished the night with 11 digs, while sophomore setter Mayara Swillens finished with seven digs and 22 assists.
