Arguably the bronze medal match is the most difficult match in sports and today the Royals and Mariners will have to forget about the disappointment of losing yesterday’s semi-final to focus on ending their season with a win. Both teams lost a heartbreaking fifth set yesterday in their semi-final match-up. The Royals will have home floor advantage to help them prepare for today’s match against last year’s champs. The regular season series ended in a 2-2 split with both teams winning on their home floor.
The Royals last won PACWEST bronze in 2018 while the Mariners won in 2016.
