The Lancer women's volleyball team lost a heart-breaking five set match to the Ryerson Rams on Saturday afternoon at the St. Denis Centre.
 
The 3-2 (25-19, 22-25, 18-25, 25-17, 13-15) moves the Lancers to 2-3 on the year, while the Rams earned their fifth straight win and are now 5-2 and sit in second place in the east division.
 
GAME FLOW
After winning the first set convincingly, the Lancers trailed the Rams 16-8 at the technical timeout. The break did the Lancers good as they came storming back to make it a one point game at 19-18. The Rams managed to maintain their lead and take the set.
 
Ryerson took the third set as well, but the Lancers did not give up and won the fourth set with some strong play at the net and capitalizing on some long rallies. The fifth set was a fight to the finish as the teams traded points literally back and forth for the entire set. In the end, the Rams built a two point lead that eventually earned them the win.
 
Jade Zeibarth led the way for Windsor with 17 kills and 10 digs. Lexi Pollard finished the game with 11 kills, 9 digs and 2 blocks, while Erin Epema had 10 kills and 12 digs.
