Unfortunately for the Pack they would drop the final three sets. The Cowgirls led by as many as nine in the second set on their way to a 25-18 set win.

In set three, the two teams were tied at until the Cowgirls unleashed an 8-1 run. The Pack came back within three, but they dropped set three 25-21.

A 6-0 run launched the Cowgirls to a 12-6 lead in set four. The Pack would never get closer than four as the ThunderWolves fell in their final set of the year 25-16.
