Saturday Women's Volleyball Recap

Week 9 of the women’s PACWEST volleyball season came to a close on Saturday with a pair of matches on the island.

VIU Mariners 3
Capilano Blues 2

An exciting match at VIU saw the Mariners hand the visiting Blues their first loss of the season in an outstanding five set win.

The Mariners opened the match with a 25=21 victory to take momentum, however the Blues bounced right back using extra points to even the match with a 26-24 win.  In the third the Mariners retook the lead with a convincing 25-15 victory, but again the Blues came right back to even the match in the fourth, winning 25-21 to send it to a fifth and deciding set.

In the fifth the scoring went back and forth like the rest of the match before the Mariners found the extra gear and won the set and the match 15-10. 

Next weekend the Blues (13-1) stay on the road to meet the CBC Bearcats (4-10) and the Mariners (10-4) enjoy the bye week.

For the second straight day the Bearcats dominated the Chargers on the road and captured a three-set sweep, playing their best volleyball of the season.

They set the tone right out of the gate with an impressive 25-13 victory, then followed that up with a 25-22 win to take advantage in the match, putting the Chargers on their heels.  In the third, the visiting Bearcats continued to keep their foot on the gas and recorded their fourth win of the year and second straight sweep with a 25-16 victory.
