It’s a heavy weight tilt tonight when the PACWEST champion Mariners meet the RSEQ champions Titans in a gold medal semi-final with plenty on the line.
The Mariners got to this match with a three-set sweep over the ACAA champion St. Thomas Tommies on Thursday winning 25-21, 25-19, 25-21. Lucas Torres continues his hot play from the PACWEST championship leading the way with 15 kills and three aces. Rylan Van Kooten and Phillip Treitel each had solid production with seven kills each.
Meanwhile the Titans are in this match after beating the Fanshawe Falcons in four sets. Christian Laferty led the way with 11 kills and Thomas Boccardi added 10 in the victory.
The winner of this match receives a berth in Sunday’s gold medal match and has Saturday off to explore Victoria. The loser will head to the bronze medal side of the bracket and still has an opportunity to win national hardware.
