- Each team had a four-point run on two different occasions in the first round. The Toros second momentum put them into a 15-point tie with the Tritons and from that point on neither team led by more than three.
- Game three, much like the first, saw the Toros had to dig themselves out of an early hole early. The difference in the set came on a three-point Triton run gave them a 19-15 lead. Dominguez Hills did get to within 24-21 on back-to-back errors but UC San Diego got the game and match-winning point on Brie Severino's kill.
