With fourth-year setter Maddux Greves at the service line, the Kings rattled off five consecutive points, including an ace, during that run. Ryan Zachary's three kills helped pull the Trojans within four (15-19), but they couldn't overtake the home side.

In the third set, a service ace from six-foot-five Jakob Olsson propelled SAIT ahead 5-0. The home team chipped away, and with kills from Patrik Toze (12) and Brett Lower (12) the Kings evened the set 15-15. Middle Dillon Gauci and outside hitter Brett Lower pushed RDP ahead late and Maddux Greves capped off a 25-20 win with an ace, his third.
