After a kill by Maggie Purichia cut the lead to one, back-to-back kills by McKenna Barfield and a kill by Molly Shannon put Campbellsville on match point. After an attack error extended the match, an IU Southeast service error ended it at 25-22.
Averee Yoder had 16 digs and Cate Murphy added 13 to go along with 11 assists.
