The seventh seeded Windsor Lancers stunned the No. 9 nationally ranked and second seeded Ryerson Rams men's volleyball team in the OUA quarter-final on Saturday afternoon, defeating the Rams 3-1 (27-25, 25-19, 13-25, 25-22).
 
With the win, the Lancers advance to the OUA Final Four for the first time in over a decade.
 
A balanced attack from the Lancers kept the Rams defence on their toes all night long. Adam Thompson had a team-high nine kills for Windsor and added four solo blocks in the middle.
 
The Rams led for much of the first set, including a 16-15 edge at the technical timeout and 19-16 down the stretch. Windsor then rallied to tie the set up at 24-24 and force extra points before Jake MacNeil finished the set with a kill for the visitors to win the set 27-25.
 
Ryerson came out flat in the second and began to rack up some unforced errors, giving Windsor a 12-6 advantage before a Rams timeout. The Lancers continued to lead at the technical timeout at 16-9 before closing the set out at 25-19 to take a commanding 2-0 match lead.
 
In the third, the Rams stepped up their play at the net with multiple blocks which gave the home side some much needed momentum. Ryerson led 16-11 at the technical timeout and a kill from Marc Reardon (London, Ont.) ended the third set at 25-13 for the Rams to extend the match to a fourth set.
 
Windsor was able to earn a three point spread early in the fourth at 7-4 and that margin carried over for much of the set. The Lancers led 16-13 at the technical timeout and after the Rams got back to within one at 19-18, Windsor called timeout and took the next two points for a 21-18 lead. A kill from Windsor's Thompson finished the set at 25-22 for the visitors as the Lancers completed the 3-1 upset.
