Haluska was dominant from the start, connecting on multiple clean swings to keep the Bulldogs in front.

The second set was tightly contested throughout, featuring 10 ties and five lead changes. Fresno State relied on steady offense from Haluska and Madison Pulsipher, while Gabby Lombardi kept the attack balanced with crisp distribution. With the score tied at 21-21, Fresno State surged ahead thanks to back-to-back kills from Haluska and a San Jose State attack error. A block by Addison Williams and Pulsipher sealed the 25-22 win. The Bulldogs hit .231 in the set while holding the Spartans to .114.
San Jose State grabbed the early momentum with a 5-1 start, but Fresno State quickly responded with a 7-2 run fueled by strong serving from Clara Garcia and another series of kills from Haluska.
