After a blistering victory in the first game, the Wolverines came out flat in the second game. Numerous hitting errors from Harvard-Westlake allowed Santa Paula to score eight of the first 10 points, but the Wolverines stormed back after that. Nesser's strong hitting and Schultz's blocking led the Wolverines' rally, and consecutive blocks from Schultz gave Harvard-Westlake a 11-10 lead.
