In the opening game, Princeton never trailed en route to a 30-16 win. The Tigers hit .333 in the opening game with 12 kills on 30 attempts while Columbia did not score a point on their attack attempts.

The second game was tighter but Princeton prevailed once again by a 30-25 margin. Columbia led in the game by as many as six points at 19-13, but Princeton rallied to win the game by five points. Princeton hit .298 in the game to Columbia's .128.

In the third game it was Columbia that overcame an early Princeton lead to win the game 30-28. Princeton led by a high of six points at 12-6 and led 25-21 late but a Columbia run with Gabi D'Addario serving swung the score in Columbia's favor.

Princeton was not to be denied however and the Tigers raced out to an early lead in the fourth game on their way to a 30-19 win.
