Mariners earn second win of the season

The VIU Mariners enter week five of the volleyball season hosting the CBC Bearcats. The Cats are coming off another pair of losses at COTR last weekend and were looking to improve their fortunes on the Island while the Mariners were coming off a split vs Capilano.

The match was a three set sweep for the Mariners as they won it 25-16, 25-17, 25-17.  "We put together our best performance on our side of the net on Friday night" stated Mariners head coach Abe Aevender. "We limited our errors and were able to capitalize on finishing well in each set. Our passing and serving were the best we have had this season which allowed us to dictate some of the play. Jesse Bazergui put together an excellent night both statistically and in a leadership role."

Mariners top performers were Jesse Bazergui with 19 offensive points (14 kills, 2 blocks, 3 aces) and 11 digs and Ariel Acosta with 16 offensive points (9 kills, 6 blocks, 1 ace) and 2 digs.

Both teams are back in action tomorrow at 3 pm.
