FRIDAY vs Brock

SATURDAY vs McMaster
The Lancers led the game early before the nationally ranked Marauders came from behind to take the first set and the two sets that followed.
 
Moate led the way for the Lancers on Sunday with 12 points on 9 kills, while Gyemi also hit double digits with 10 points.
