Oshkosh defeated St. Norbert by set scores of 25-14, 25-20 and 25-13, followed by scores of 25-17, 25-12 and 25-15 against Lakeland.
 
The Titans hit .320 with 43 kills, 41 assists, six aces and five blocks against St. Norbert in their first match of the night and .261 with 45 kills, 44 assists, eight aces and eight blocks against Lakeland in their second.

The Titans and Green Knights traded points early in the first set before UW-Oshkosh took an 8-5 edge with a 4-point spurt. Oshkosh extended its lead to six points with another 4-0 run and didn't allow St. Norbert to score more than a point at a time for the rest of the set. Moe's kill and Malia Winchel's (So. • Oak Creek) set up match point which Oshkosh won on an attack error.
 
St. Norbert jumped ahead in the second set, however Oshkosh scored four quick points to once again take a lead. The Green Knights tied the score twice before the Titans scored their 12th point. Meanwhile, Oshkosh slowly increased the edge by scoring three consecutive points three times.
 
After UW-Oshkosh tallied the first two points of the third set, the Green Knights went 7-2 to take a 3-point edge. The Titans responded by going 6-0 with two kills from Robyn Kirsch (Sr. • Wausau), one more form Moe and two aces from Mau. Oshkosh scored another four straight points, making the score 19-11 before ending the match with another 5-point run.

The Titans raced ahead early against Lakeland by scoring four straight points on a Riley Kindt (Fifth • Brookfield) kill and three attack errors. Sami Perlberg (So. • Chippewa Falls) and Kirsch each earned a kill, paired with another attack error for a later 3-point spurt before Oshkosh went 8-0 and made the score 17-5. Runs of four and five points brought Lakeland closer to Oshkosh, however it could not overcome the deficit and Perlberg ended set one with a kill.
 
Once again, Oshkosh made the first run early in set two, scoring four points and taking a 7-3 edge. The Titans slowly built up their lead over the next few points before breaking out for six-straight.

The score sat at. 24-10 after another Oshkosh run of five points and this time, the set was won on a Breunig kill.
 
In the final set of the night, Lakeland owned the early edge and led by as much as four points at 10-6. After the Muskies scored and made it 11-8, Kirsch recorded a kill, Grier registered an ace, Riley Borrowman (Fr. • Oswego, Ill.) added a kill and Grier notched another ace to switch the lead to Oshkosh's favor. An 8-2 streak for the Titans made the score 20-14 before a Lakeland kill. Grier then had three kills over the following five Oshkosh points that finished the set and match.
