VIU Completes Weekend Sweep

Saturday's rematch faired a little better for CBC but the Mariners were still able to take the match 3-0 and earn a weekend sweep. "With the importance of every weekend in the PACWEST, starting the second semester with 2 excellent wins, we are very happy with the result." stated VIU coach Avender. "We hope to take some of this weekends momentum into next weekend with UFV whom we are hosting at VIU."

The Cats for their part put up a better fight tonight. "We came back and showed a little bit more from the progression our team has been on. While we are clearly not where we want to be, we showed more competitiveness and were mentally more engaged in what we wanted the guys to do." stated CBC's coach Warkentin. "Though we were unable to pull out a set victory, despite leading big in the second set, we showed ourselves that when we play our systems right, strive to be dynamic in our offense and are scrappy on defense we can compete in this league."  CBC was led by Curtis Stelzer with 4 kills, 2 blocks and 1 ace while yan Newman with 7 kills, 2 digs and an ace.

The Cats are on the road next weekend in Victoria to play the Chargers while the Mariners play host to the Cascades.
