The top ranked VIU Mariners made quick work of the Douglas College Royals in Friday night’s semi-final with three-set sweep; 31-29, 25-19 and 25-19.
Following the massive first set, the Mariners took control while the Royals were still trying to get over the heartbreaker.
PACWEST Player of the Year Braydon Brouwer finished with 19 kills to lead the Mariners. Setter Ryan Marcellus was named the Player of the Match after quarterbacking the offence.
With the win the Mariners punch their ticket to the CCAA National championship in London in two weeks regardless of what happens tomorrow.
They will now face the Camosun Chargers in the men’s gold medal match on Saturday at 8:00pm.
The Royals will play for a PACWEST bronze medal Saturday afternoon at 3:00pm when they meet the #2 UFV Cascades.
