Back-to-back blocks had Memorial behind by only three points after the technical timeout, at 17-14. Dalhousie answered their challenge with a four-point run and swiftly ended the set 25-17.

Once again, the Tigers came out swinging at the start of the third set. Sarah Dawe (Mount Pearl, NL) served back-to-back aces, giving Dalhousie an early 8-1 lead. Memorial quickly fell behind as the Tigers went on run after run, eventually finishing the set 25-10, and taking the match 3-0.
