In the second set, Montreal controlled the pace of play, leaving the Sea-Hawks scrambling to put together point runs to catch up. The Carabins improved to 2-0 in the match with a 25-20 set win. 

Veyron-Trudel had another great serving performance in the third, helping the Carabins to an early lead. Scott Holmgren (Fernie, B.C.) answered with some solid serving of his own, triggering a three-point run by the Sea-Hawks to get within two down the stretch. Montreal dug in to fend of the Sea-Hawks' advance, winning the third and final set 25-22. 

Olivier Riopel (Gatineau, Q.C.) led the attack for Montreal with a match-high 14 kills and added nine digs, while Veyron-Trudel chipped in 10 kills of his own. 

Memorial's Liam Power (Lower Sackville, N.S.) had 10 kills and five digs in the effort.
