After dropping Friday night's match against the Douglas College Royals, the Blues were back in action Saturday night at the Sportsplex for the second game of the double‐header.

The first two sets went in favour of the Blues, 25‐18. "We played in system and controlled in our first two sets," according to head coach Cal Wohlford. After the Blues dominated much of the first two sets, the Royals took commanding leads early in the next two sets to tie it up at 2‐2 and force a fifth and deciding set.

A competitive final set saw the Blues up 8‐7 before going on to win 15‐11 and the match 3-2. "In the fifth set, we kept our composure, even when we made a couple errors," Wohlford said. 

Wohlford was impressed with rookie, Meghan Koven in Saturday night's match, noting that she played extremely well and showed a lot of composure throughout the match.

Everybody contributed a lot this past weekend. Friday night Danae [Shephard] was pretty good and both nights Alexis Sebok and Kira [Sutcliffe] fought through some ups and downs, but they performed very well at the key points of the games."
