Box Score WINDSOR, Ont.- The Windsor Lancers men's volleyball team dropped an exciting five-setter (27-25,23-25,25-23,20-25,12-15) to the Waterloo Warriors on Saturday night at the St. Denis Centre.

Greg Simone and Shawn Reaume each tallied 13 kills while Alexander Vukovic added 10 kills in a losing cause for the Lancers (0-2), while Zach Doherty had a game-high 19 kills and 23 points to help the Warriors (3-1) to victory.

The Lancers and Warriors battled throughout the first set, trading momentum swings to begin the contest. Windsor could not convert on its first set point of the match, as consecutive blocks from the Warriors gave them an opportunity to draw first blood. However, after crucial kill from Adam Thompson evened the game, Greg Simone took over on his serve. The third-year outside painted the back corner on his first serve, and followed that with a low ball that tipped just over the net and fell flat onto the Warriors side of the court, handing Windsor the first set.

The second half was much of the same from the two sides who traded points up to the technical timeout, with the visitors holding a slight 16-15 advantage. Waterloo went up by a couple in the latter part of the set, but a big block from Thompson evened the stanza at 22-22. However, the guests took three of the next four points to draw even with the Lancers at one game apiece.

Looking to regroup, the Lancers jumped out to a 5-1 advantage early in the third. Another huge block by Thompson energized the St. Denis Centre crowd and maintaining the Lancer spread. The home side took a 16-12 lead into the technical timeout. The men maintained their lead throughout, and re-took a one-set lead. The Lancers could not carry the momentum into the fourth, as Waterloo jumped out to an early lead that it wouldn't relinquish, sending the game to a fifth and deciding frame.

The squads traded leads early in the final set before consecutive Lancer blocks and a Warriors attack error gave the home side  a 7-4 lead. However, Waterloo took six of the next eight points to pull ahead by one. Waterloo picked up their first match point at 14-12, and Tyler Motherwell iced the contest with a kill from the middle of the net.

The Lancers will look for their first win of the season on the road next weekend, where they will travel to York and Nipissing. The men are back at the St. Denis Centre on November 10 to take on the rival Western Mustangs.
