SET 1:
Seton Hall got off to a rough match start with Providence scoring nine of the first 10 points.

SET 3:
Similarly to set one, Providence raced out of the gates in set three, scoring seven of the first eight points. Trailing 10-5, The Hall clawed back, and a kill by Emilee Fuller (Louisville, Ky.) cut Seton Hall's deficit to 14-12. A kill by Carr brought the Pirates to within, 16-15, but Providence scored four of the next five points to open up a 20-16 advantage and force a Seton Hall timeout. The Hall staved off two set points, but ultimately fell, 25-22. The Pirates fell in set three despite having 19 kills, only two attack errors and a .487 attack percentage.

SET 4:
The fourth set was the closest of the match and featured nine ties and six lead changes. A kill by Safian gave The Hall a 20-17 lead, but Providence struck back with four of the next five points to tie the set at 21 and force a Pirates' time out. Seton Hall bounced back out of the break with four of the final five points. A kill by Subasili put the Pirates in set point, and an ace by Carr gave them a 25-22 victory.

SET 5:
