Calvin (4-0) used stellar serving and dominant play at the net to pull away for the win.

Calvin overcame a deficit in set three to win a lengthy final match. A Wittenberg (2-2) service error put the Knights up 28-27 and an overpass that allowed DeVries the opportunity to slam-dunk a kill at the net to close the out match.
