Game three was all Dayton as the visitors rushed out to a 7-1 lead and were never threatened. Game four was a classic battle that saw the Colonials take a 7-3 lead before the Flyers battled back to tie the game at 9-9. The teams traded side-outs and were tied six more times before the Flyers triumphed on a pair of attack errors by Brown after the game was knotted at 16-16.

In the decisive fifth game, both teams played evenly to a 6-6 tie before GW took charge with a 9-3 run to seal the victory.
