Set one (25-17) was dominated from start to finish by Green Bay, but the second set (28-26) saw the Phoenix come from behind to take the 2-0 lead in the match. 

At the midway point of the set, Green Bay trailed Youngstown State 8-13.  It wasn't until the team was down 14-21, that they began to chip away at the visitors lead.  The Phoenix took 5 of the next 6 points to close the gap 19-22.  The Penguins took the next point before the squad went on a 5-0 run to take a 24-23 lead.  The two teams went back-and-forth before back-to-back kills to end the set from Maddie Yoss and Taylor Wolf gave Green Bay the 2-0 lead in the match.  Nonetheless, junior Kristen Paulus was the spark off the bench for the Phoenix during the second set by tallying 5 crucial kills off 8 attacks.

Green Bay took care of business in set three (25-19) to give themselves their seventh sweep of the season and an important win in conference play.
