After securing a first-round bye, the Tigers met the UCCB Capers in semifinal action. Dalhousie swept UCCB in three straight sets and Power counted nine kills. Facing cross-town rivals, Saint Mary's, in the championship final, the Tigers gave up the first set by a close 27-25 margin only to rebound by winning the next three sets to claim the AUS banner. Power was strong again with 11 kills, two aces and two stuff blocks. Her efforts were rewarded by being named the 2005 AUS Tournament MVP.
