In the early going, game two was very similar to the first contest. NU and BU were tied at 10-10 before the Huskies reeled off another 9-0 run to push their lead to 19-10. Binghamton, however, then fought back with a 17-7 run to take the lead at 27-26. NU head coach Ken Nichols called a timeout to rally the troops and it worked as Northeastern eventually took game two 30-28.
Both teams once again found themselves tied at 6-6 in game three before Binghamton went on a 7-2 run to push its lead to 13-8. NU responded with a 5-0 run of its own to tie the game at 13-13. NU and BU traded points until Northeastern took its first lead of game three at 19-18. The Huskies then slowly worked their way to a 30-27 win for the game and the match.
