In game three the Slugs picked up some momentum and stayed in control the entire game. Game four came down to the wire and Nazareth was able to dig their way to a 31-29 victory. In the fifth and final game the Slugs used aggressive serving tactics to take a 4-1 lead. The Slugs would hold their lead to win the fifth and final game 15-10.
