Tonight the Capilano Blues host the UFV Cascades in a make-up match from October 16th.  When they opened the season on October 15 the Blues hammered the Cascades, beating them in three straight; 25-21, 25-21, 25-20.

The Blues come into the match winners of two in a row after a sweep of Camosun last weekend on the Island.  As a matter of fact the Blues have been hot with an outstanding November winning six of the eight matches they played.   Five of those matches were played on the road.

The Cascades have struggled in the first half of the year as a very young team and have dropped three of their last four matches.  Tonight is their first road match since the end of October.  At home in the month of November they finished with two wins in six matches played.
