The UBC Okanagan Heat women came out on top in five sets against the Saskatchewan Huskies on Friday night after falling to the Huskies the game prior.
A Jade Bussard run from the service line gave UBCO the advantage in the fifth (11-7) but four points from the visitors tied things back up at 11-all.
After being tied at 13 in the fifth, a service error from the Huskies was followed with miscommunication on match point that led to the UBCO Victory.
