NJIT took control of the first set early, jumping out to a 7-1 lead, resulting in an Ohio State timeout.  Visiting Ohio State worked its way back into the set, cutting the deficit to one, 14-13, and the home team went on a 4-1 spurt to take a four-point lead, 18-14, resulting in the Buckeyes second timeout of the set.  Ohio State scored four straight points to knot the set at 18-all.  A 5-2 run by Ohio State late in the set put the Buckeyes ahead by two, 23-21 but the Highlanders responded with a 3-1 spurt to knot the set at 24-all on a kill by Wiktor Nowak.  The Buckeyes scored the final two points of the set for a 26-24 win.

Ohio State got off to a quick start in the second set, 7-3 but the Highlanders responded with six consecutive points to take a two-point lead, 10-8, on a kill by Antonio Feliciano.  The Buckeyes rallied and went on a 8-1 spurt to regain the lead and go ahead by five, 18-13.  The Highlanders went on a short 3-1 run to slim the Ohio State lead to four, 21-17 but the Buckeyes scored the final four points of the match to pick up the 25-17 to go ahead 2-0.

In the third frame, Ohio State took control right out of the gates, 11-4 and extended its lead to 14-7.  NJIT used a late run, pulling within four, 17-13, behind three straight points and then again in the late teens, going on a 4-1 spurt to pull within four, 24-20 but the Buckeyes secured the final points to secure the 3-0 sweep with a 25-20 victory.
