In set two Queen's used their speed to get an early lead on the Lancers. Despite falling behind, Windsor continued to pressure Queen's both offensively and defensively. Some Queen's mistakes late in the set gave Windsor an opportunity to grab the win, but in the end Queen's took the set 25-22.
Windsor started the third set with two power hits from Justin Kuskoff to put them first on the board. Ready to complete the sweep, Queen's battled back and took the lead. Both teams competed in some fierce rallies as the score remained tight until the very end. In the end, Queen's won the final game 25-21.
