Much like on Friday night, the first set Saturday was hotly contested and went extra points as the Cowgirls rallied from down 24-22 to score five of the next six and take the first set. Set two was pretty much all Cowgirls as UW led the Rams (4-4, 4-4 MW) for most of the set, pushing the match to the brink. In set three, it looked like Saturday would be a Cowgirl sweep as they led 22-15 in the third.
