In junior play it was a little closer, but the result was similar. Ivy Anderson had 12 points, enough to beat the Saints on her own, as the Falcons improved to 6-2 with a 29-10 win.

In senior boys volleyball, St. Ignatius beat Hammarskjold 2-1, Superior blanked Westgate 3-0 and Churchill took out Dennis Franklin Cromarty by the same 3-0 score.
