A strong hit from Katie Stewart (Gananoque, ON) gave the Falcons a 9-2 lead in set two. A dig from libero Lauren Reycraft (Kitchener, ON) set up a kill from Lauren Vahrmeyer (Vineland, ON) to extend Fanshawe's lead. The Falcons took the second set by a score of 25-9.
The red and white continued where they left off in the third frame when Ashley Rafferty (Peace River, AB) set up Albert for yet another kill.
