Addison Thomas contributed eight more kills and posted a .389 hitting rate, and Larisa Comolli factored in five of the team's six blocks. Defensively, Jessica Christman, Sabrina Arcilla, and Livy McDonough went for 14, 11, and 10 digs, respectively; McDonough and Arcilla also combined for nine of the squad's 17 service aces.

On the UNE side, Chloe Miracle led all players with 17 kills and notched a double-double with 10 digs. Kailyn Reilly and Ellijah Hanley each supplied nine kills with the help of 41 assists by Hayley Shult, while Hannah Nowell put seven kills and had a hand in the team's three rejections. Kelsey Bradshaw picked up 18 digs on the back end, and Lylah Shumway saved 14 more; Nowell and Shult made it five in double digits for digs by matching the 10 from Miracle.
