Purdue looked progressively better each set but folded late in the third set when they could’ve extended the match.
Purdue got off to a good start in the third set. A run early put them in front 6-2. Azariah Stahl and Blake Mohler each tallied a kill then combined for a block and Mohler capped the run with a solo stuff. Purdue kept pushing, getting sideouts each time Minnesota went back to serve as they stretched their lead to seven, 11-4. Minnesota though put together a four point run using Stephanie Samedy out of the backrow confusing the Purdue blockers.
