After dropping the first frame, the men fought back to win the second before losing the next two. Max Heppell led the way for UBCO as he had 18 kills on the night. Brenna Goski had nine digs in the game while Teo Ardanaz chipped in with six blocks. 

The women started strong but couldn't finish, hitting at only 12.2%. They would win the first set 25-23 but lose the next three 25-12, 25-16, and 25-20. Ann Richards was a standout for the women as she had 13 kills and nine digs on the evening.
