The Yorktown Kitty Kats battled back from a slow start to defeat the Kenedy Leopards in four sets, winning 25–23, 20–25, 25–13, 26–24.

After falling behind 0–2 early in the opening set, the Kitty Kats regrouped with strong net play. Gracie Stehling sparked the rally with a powerful kill, and Hayle Russell followed with a score off an overpass. Stehling added two more kills to give Yorktown a 4–2 lead before a missed serve broke the momentum briefly.

Kenedy answered with a point, but Stehling responded with an ace to keep the Kats ahead. A kill from Claire Person forced Kenedy to call timeout as Yorktown extended its lead to 9–4. Avery Martin then delivered back-to-back kills, including assists from Palyn Koopmann, to help the Kats maintain control.
