Box Score WATERLOO, Ont.- The Windsor Lancers men's volleyball team had their regular season and post-season hopes end on Saturday evening as they fell in straight sets (25-23, 25-22, 25-18) to the Waterloo Warriors at the Physical Activities Complex.
After Queen's (8-11) notched a 3-0 win over the Ryerson Rams in Kingston, Ont. on Saturday afternoon, the Lancers (8-12) needed a victory that same evening to force the Gaels' hand in their final game on Sunday. However, facing a third-seeded Warriors team looking to climb into second place and earn a bye into the OUA Final Four weekend, Windsor was in tough and fell short in their playoff bid.
