The first half of the second set was close and the Raptors trailed only 15-13 before a 6-0 run put Drew firmly in control again, as the Rangers led by at least five over the remainder of the stanza.
 
It was all Rangers in the final set, when Drew did not commit an attack error. The hosts opened on a 9-2 run, and the lead eventually ballooned to 16-4 as the Rangers won their fourth match in a row and for the fifth time in the last six matches.
