*Senior setter Krista Hasemeyer came off the bench to offer six assists.

In the third set, the Coyotes had a 12-2-30 effort on the attack and again, never trailed in going up 2-1.

A 6-0 run allowed CSUSB to come back after trailing 7-4. Both teams traded the lead until Johnson put the Coyotes up 20-19. She later added another kill, and kills from Carty and Carty put CSUSB up 23-19.

The teams traded kills and after two kills from CSUEB, Middleborn made the sure the Coyotes would leave Pioneer Gym a winner with her 19th kill on the night.
