Washburn held an advantage for most of the first two sets, winning 25-23 and 25-20, and in both the third and fourth sets the Ichabods reached match point but the Bearcats had responses in each one to win 28-26 and 30-28 sets.
In the fifth Washburn was able to create early separation and hold on, winning 15-8.
Neither side created much advantage for themselves early in the first set. Three straight kills from three different players put the Ichabods up 9-8 and after trading a few points Washburn was able to reel off four points in a row to go up 15-10.
Northwest made it 16-15 and pulled within one point twice more in the set but never led as Rachel Schwensen was able to end the set on a kill, 25-23.
The second set was dictated by Washburn's offense, which hit .432 in the set while knocking down 18 kills with just two errors.
