Playing at home against Montreal, the Women Warriors lost their match-up against the perennial powerhouse Carabins (winners of the last four OUA Championships).

Warrior co-captain Alison Drainie (Toronto/), in her third year on the team, lost in a tough three-setter. The other singles winner was Lucy Yao (Whitby/) who managed to come back after losing the first set.
