The third set saw the Lions taking the lead 9-5 with kills from Alexandru Ignat, Richard Housen Jr, and Daniel Lafleur. The Lions were then up 16-10, but this lead was interrupted by a few 3-4 point streaks from the Gaels, bringing the score to 18-14 and then 22-22. The Gaels ultimately took the set 25-23.
