The Raptors controlled the match from the start, with set scores of 25-13, 25-11, and 25-14, handing WAU a difficult loss.

Montgomery College set the tone early, taking the first set 25-13 with aggressive net play and strong serves. Despite efforts from Samiah and Ariynna Gross, who led WAU in kills and digs, the Shock couldn't overcome the early deficit.

In the second set, WAU continued to struggle with Montgomery's consistent pressure, falling 25-11. Jordyn Stafford worked hard to keep the offense in rhythm, but Montgomery's defense proved too tough to break through.
