Set 3
After a slow start to the third set, Weber State trailed Idaho State 11-5 working to chip away at the Bengals lead. Unable to pull ahead, Idaho State's tough offense awarded them a lot of cushion as they pulled to a nine-point lead and earned them the third set 25-15.
Set 4
The 'Cats offense recovered in the fourth as Weber State refused to let Idaho State pull ahead. Trying to rally, the Bengals fought back shaving the 'Cats lead to just a point, 14-13.
