Day 2 started with a rematch for the Devils against the Olympic College Rangers. The Ranger were looking for some redemption as they had lost to the Red Devils earlier that week at home.

Next up for LCC was a tough North Idaho team. Both teams came out of the gates strong but Devils were unable to get the ball around North Idahos defense. LCC took the match to 4 sets but fell 3-1 (25-22,15-25,25-18,25-17) to NIC.

Miller had 11 kills and Cantwell contributed with 9.

The loss put the Devils into the third place bracket setting up a rematch with Skagit Valley. LCC, still feeling the loss had to play right away against an reinvigorated Skagit. The Devils came out a little flat allowing Skagit to stay close but they eventually put them away 2-0 (25-23, 25-22)
