The Dinos would go on to take the set 25 to 23
The second set was close down to the final few points, but was challenging for the Dinos' outside hitters as they couldn't seem to crack Winnipeg's Libero
Madison Fyvie as she stopped their attacks with 13 digs in the set. Couple that with the offensive break out of
Karissa Kuhr and
Jessica Friesen who had nine and five kills on the set respectively. The Wesmen would go on to win their first set in four games.
After a slow start to the third set, the Dinos made a sub on Hannah Tanasichuk and Lexis Peart who made an instant impact, followed by back to back kills by Pexman to give the Dinos their first lead of the set. They kept it close but were eventually beaten by Winnipeg's offensive depth, by a score of 29 to 27
The fourth set was ultimately decided by the Dinos patience, and defence. Moffatt put up seven blocks on the match, including back to back blocks leading to a 14-10 lead for the Dinos.

th kill of the match, and multiple errors by the Wesmen giving the Dinos an early lead in the final set.
