Red Deer, AB – Led by Tess Pearman's 16 kills, the RDC Queens downed the Ambrose University Lions in three sets (25-19, 25-22 and 25-20), taking the weekend series. 

In the first set, outside hitter Emma Holmes helped push the RDC Queens ahead 8-3 with a couple of kills and some service pressure. Strong blocking from the Lions reduced the gap to four (9-13). RDC Bachelor of Science Nursing student Erin Neufeldt was effective from the left side and she added an ace, helping the home team to eventually solidify a 25-19 decision.

Ambrose University had a good beginning to the second set. Middle Ali Leskow picked up an ace, providing the Lions a 13-10 edge. As the Lions started to inch away, Queens Head Coach Talbot Walton called a timeout which swayed the momentum. RDC rallied and capped off a 25-22 win.

After the Queens led the third set 8-5, the Lions went on an 8-1 run to jump ahead 13-9. Another timeout from Talbot Walton started to turn the tides again. Eventually a left side kill from RDC's Tess Pearman knotted the set 13-13. In the latter half, the RDC Queens started to pull away. Fittingly, Pearman, a second-year Bachelor of Education Secondary student, wrapped up a 25-20 decision.
