Blues move into second place with weekend sweep over Chargers

Trying to complete the weekend sweep, the Blues were back at it Saturday afternoon for a rematch with the Chargers. This time the Chargers were able to force the game to five sets; however, the Blues held on for the 3-2 victory (29-27, 25-17, 24-26, 21-25, 15-8).

CapU head coach Wohlford was pleased with his teams’ performance, “we started well and were able to take some pressure off ourselves after taking a back-and-forth first set. Camosun played stronger, adding different shots and plays in and we seemed to take our foot off the pedal a little bit. But by midway in the fourth set we started to get our groove back a bit and finished strong in the fifth.”

Notable statistical performances on the weekend (over two games) for the Blues include: Mika Chow (49 digs), Kira Sutcliffe (25 kills, 8 blocks, 1 ace), Alexis Sebok (26 kills, 4 blocks, 2 aces), Danae Shephard (15 kills,6 blocks,1 ace), Meghan Koven (21 kills,3 blocks, 1 ace) and Sarah Hughes (23 digs, 9 kills, 4 blocks, 2 aces). The Chargers had solid performances from Michelle Zygmunt (29 kills, 1 block. 5 aces, 25 digs), Katie Fetting (25 kills, 23 digs) and Megan Beckett (24 kills, 2 blocks, 2 aces, 12 digs).
