Coach Paul Funk said, "It was exactly the type of match that we had talked about in pre-game with Brock having stretches of good play followed by stretches of errors. Our goal was to stay consistent throughout but we only managed to do that about half the time. I thought Leslie Ogilvie did a good job in a relief role today." Meghan Morelli led the Guelph offense with 12 points (11 kills, 1 block) followed by Nicole Collard with 11 (10 kills, 1 block) while Kristen Almhjell had 19 digs to lead the defense.
