The Vikings started the second set off on fire, bouncing back from their first set defeat. They took the lead early and never looked back as they took the second set 25-15. The back and forth match continued as the Thunder bounce back in the third set, taking it 25-16. Needing to bounce back to keep themselves in the match, the Vikings came out and answered the call, taking the fourth set 25-20 to force a fifth set. However, once again this match proved to be back and forth as the Thunder bounce back in the final set to take it 15-9 and close out the match.
