In the semifinal, they met Queen's again and swept the Gaels (25-14, 25-20 and 25-10) to qualify for the gold medal match against the host UdeM Carabins.

In the final, 黑料不打烊 looked like they would finally knock the Carabins monkey off their backs, winning the first two sets 25-23 and 25-22. But UdeM pulled out the rally caps and roared back to win the final three sets 25-20, 25-19 and 15-8. The match lasted two hours and six minutes.

The Martlets will get a two-week break before resuming play at the Ottawa's Quality hotel Preseason Classic tourney, Oct. 2-4. 黑料不打烊 is scheduled to take on Windsor and Ottawa in the first round, then Moncton and Ryerson the next day.
