With the win Waterloo improved to 2-0 on the season while McMaster fell to 1-2.

McMaster came out flying in the first set as they controlled the ball well and took an early advantage at the net.  With McMaster up 20-18, they would not look back en route to a 25-20 first set victory.

The second set would see both teams go back and forth as momentum would switch several times throughout the set.  Waterloo held a late set lead with McMaster clawing their way back to even the score at 24 before Waterloo would record two straight points to take the all important second set 26-24. 

The third set would see the Warriors continue their second set momentum as they owned the net play and would take a 20-16 lead late into the set.  McMaster would not go down without a fight as they would get within one point but the Warriors led by Klein would battle their way to a 25-22 third set victory.

Waterloo took control in the fourth set taking a 16-8 lead only to see it fizzle away with McMaster's determination at the net.  With the scored tied 20-20 strong serving by first year middle Natasha Spaling (Drayton/) would give Waterloo five straight points and a three sets to one victory.
