The WolfPack found a way to force a fifth and final set when they capitalized on Calgary's low energy. Despite a desperate attempt at a comeback from the Dinos, Thompson Rivers took it 25-21.

In the fifth, the Dinos took an early 6-3 lead, forcing the WolfPack to call a timeout. It wouldn't help as Calgary continued their run with an 8-3 lead at the switch.
