Texas Tech would go on to take the first set, 25-12.
Tech went on to lead 6-1 at the start of the second set. West Virginia saw a spark after a kill from freshman middle blocker Emma Beretich and a pair of Red Raider errors, to trail 14-7.

West Virginia benefited from two straight points, courtesy of Tech errors, to trail 11-5. A 7-0 run from TTU put West Virginia in a scoring draught, as the Red Raiders led by as many as 13 points, 20-7.
