SMU fell behind early in the first game but came back to tie it 7-7 then took a four point lead on two kills from Kirstyn Druzianich and two attack errors by the ‘Runners. The Saints maintained no less then a three point advantage the rest of the way to earn the win. Metro lead the entire way through game two quickly building a five point lead. They would close out the game with a 10-4 run to tie the match at one apiece. Game three was a battle all the way with both vying for the lead. Tied 18-18, the ‘Runners put together five to go ahead 23-18. The deficit was just too much for the Saints to overcome. Metro controlled game four from start to finish as they held SMU to just eight points on their way to the game and match victory. Shealun Campisi and Nicole Ostlund had seven kills each for Saint Martin’s with Campisi picking up 17 digs. Metro was led by Bri Morley and Emily Greenhalgh with 14 and 13 kills respectively.
