The Lords followed with a sweep over Loyalist College 25-20 and 25-18 to carry their momentum through the opening two games.

Up against George Brown in their third matchup of the day, Durham was looking to maintain top spot in the tournament as the Huskies were 3-1 through two matches.

It wasn't an issue for the Lords who won both sets 25-13 and 25-21.

Their first loss came in their final match of the day against the Algonquin Thunder. Durham lost the first 27-25 before taking the second set 25-18.
