Lancaster Bible maintained their lead, and Hunter Davis capped off the first set with two aces as the Chargers went on to win 25-11.
 
The second started off similarly to the first, but again, Dawson Forney got a solo block to spark a quick four unanswered for the Chargers to gain a 9-4 lead over the Eagles. Soon after, Lancaster Bible pulled together a massive 7-0 run with three aces from Jake Rotelle during that span, and the team gained a comfortable 17-6 lead. The Eagles tried their best to crawl back as both teams traded points late in the match, but ultimately, the Chargers stayed on top to win the second set 25-12.
 
The Chargers started off the third set on a 9-3 run with two service aces and a kill from Elijah Herb. After the strong start, both teams battled back and forth trading points and the Chargers led just 16-10, then Lancaster Bible went on another quick 4-0 run. The Eagles again tried to fight back, but it was too little, too late as the Chargers won the third and final set 25-14 to complete the sweep.
