VIU Mariners 3
Capilano Blues 0
The Mariners earned a weekend sweep with a three-set sweep over the visiting Blues on Saturday afternoon on the island.
Offensively the Mariners set the tone with a lopsided 25-12 first set win and never looked back. They kept the momentum in the second winning 25-19, then finished off the Blues 29-27 in the third set to capture their seventh win of the season pulling them into a second-place tie in the standings.
Next weekend the Mariners (7-7) will enjoy a bye while the Blues (7-7) visit the CBC Bearcats (2-12).
Camosun Chargers 3
CBC Bearcats 0
Saturday afternoon the Chargers completed the weekend sweep and earned their seventh win of the campaign. They opened the match with a 25-22 victory and kept that momentum going with a second set win of 25-16, then finished off the Bearcats with another 25-16 victory.
With the win the Chargers (7-7) will enjoy a bye next weekend and the Bearcats (2-12) host the Capilano Blues (7-7).
