Mount Royal won its second match over the University of Regina in as many nights on Saturday, winning in straight sets at the Centre for Kinesiology, Health & Sport.

After losing in four to Mount Royal on Friday, the U of R looked like it poised to turn the tables after getting out to a strong start in the first set on Saturday.

Mount Royal won three out of four points after a 22-22 draw to end up with a 25-23 win in the first.

The second set was almost the same story, with Regina leading the entire set up to the media timeout until a late Mount Royal run put the visitors into the lead. Mount Royal got back-to-back points off a block from Olivia Grecu and Julia Pasieka and a kill by Pasieka to break a late tie and give the visitors another 25-23 win.
