Set One (NC State 18, Clemson 25)
Clemson (12-18, 3-15 ACC) controlled the momentum in the set from beginning to end as the Tigers hit .342 with 16 kills and held NC State to a .159 hitting clip. The Pack tried to battle back late, coming within three at 20-17 but Clemson answered with a quick 3-0 run to halt any hopes for the Wolfpack.

Set Two (NC State 25, Clemson 14)
The set began in a battle until Clemson reeled off a 3-0 run to take a 6-3 lead forcing NC State to use an early timeout. The Pack came out of the break with new energy and tied the score at 9-all. Once NC State took charge of the lead, the Wolfpack went on a dominating 8-0 run to take a commanding 22-12 lead it would not relinquish.

Set Three (NC State 25, Clemson 16)
Once again, both teams fought hard to begin the set as all five ties in the set happened by the seventh point. Tied at seven, Clemson recorded three consecutive errors to give the Pack a 10-7 lead it would not let up. NC State's defense stepped up in the latter half of the set, holding the Tigers to a .024 hitting clip.

Set Four (NC State 25, Clemson 22)
The Wolfpack never trailed in the fourth set despite Clemson's offensive pushes. The Tigers tied the score twice at 3-3 and 4-4 but could not get the point to put them on top. The Wolfpack had a slight scare as the Tigers came within one at 15-14, but NC State used a Clemson error and a kill from Rowland to create enough space to hold on for the regular-season ending win.
