Acadia won the match in four sets, winning 25-11, 25-20, 21-25 and 25-22.

Moncton's Jessie Robichaud registered 14 digs, Christelle Bertin, 8 kills and 44 attacks and Sophie Bastarache, 23 assists for the Blue and Gold.

Subway player of the game, Sarah Ross, had 11 kills for the visitors and Kailey Evans, 16 digs.
