Friday Night Sweeps
The Mariners and Avalanche score the Friday night win
Friday night, women’s PACWEST volleyball opened Week 11 with a pair of home team sweeps.
VIU Mariners 3
Douglas Royals 0
The Mariners made quick work of the visiting Royals on Friday night and didn’t let them get into much of a rhythm.
They took a hold of the momentum in the first set with a convincing 25-11 win and never really looked back. They kept the pressure on in the second, claiming a 25-17 victory before finishing off the Royals in short order with a 25-16 win.
On Saturday afternoon the Mariners (11-4) and Royals (5-10) meet for the final time this regular season at 1:00pm.
COTR Avalanche 3
Camosun Chargers 0
In a must win for both teams the Avalanche used the hometown crowd to perfection and got back into the win column with an impressive three-set sweep over the visiting Chargers.
They would open the match with a grueling 27-25 victory, which seemed to ignite them and deflate the Chargers at the same time. In the second, the Avalanche continued to swing hard and captured a 25-19 win before earning the sweep with a 25-23 win in the third.
These two schools will meet for the final time this season on Saturday afternoon at 12:00pm when the Avalanche (6-9) look to take control of third place, but the Chargers (5-10) have other ideas.
