Dallas chased for nearly all of set two, but kept themselves within striking distance all the way to the end as Colorado took the set by two points.  It was much of the same in set three, with the Crusaders trailing by just three points deep in the set, but the Tigers had just enough to pull away 25-19 at the end to complete the sweep.
