What started as a close match early shifted about halfway through the first set as the Rebels took an 8-6 lead and put together a run, pushing out to a quick first set victory by a score of 25-18.
The second set was again close early, but the Rebels strung together another run to pull away and never looked back. Tied at seven, Ole Miss put together a nine point run that pushed the Rebels on top 16-7 and stormed to the finish from there. Ole Miss claimed the second set 25-16.
It was all Rebels in the third set as Ole Miss charged out to a 10-2 lead to open things up. The set was never in question as Texas Tech couldn't find an answer to the Rebel assault and Ole Miss claimed the match with a 25-9 victory in the third set.
