Day two brought more action to the Darling Pavilion with The Royals winning a perfect (modified, 2 rounds in 4th quarter game) 18-0 match against the Firestorm from ACU. Power players for the game were Sophia Rosendale, Nicole Contreras, Mackenzie Flowers, Jasmine Rincon and Kamea Binnquist. The final game of the day was against the two-time national champions, the Warriors of Jessup University. It was a very close match throughout the entire game going back and forth with both teams leading after each round. The final outcome was dependent on the final round. The Royals scored on PS 8 and the Warriors scored on PT8. Then in the JT section the Royals forfeited and a score for the Warriors would have put the game into overtime, but the Warriors did not meet the standard and were not awarded the point and the Royals were victorious with a final score of 13-12 making the Royals the GSAC Champions. This was the first time that the Royals defeated Jessup.
