In the second set, Clavet could not handle Humboldt's strong serving and the Mohawks' heads-up play gained them a 16-9 lead. The final score was 25-16.
The second match saw Clavet take on Warman. Warman couldn't handle the strong Clavet offence, losing two straight on scores of 25-11 and 25-17.
HCI was back on the court for the third match, taking on Warman.
Humboldt took an early lead in the first set. With a score of 19-8, coach Rod Zwarych put his bench in and Warman was able to claw their way back to 21 points before the set ended.
