The Lancer women's volleyball team dropped a 3-0 (8-25, 10-25, 16-25) decision to the No. 2 ranked Toronto Varsity Blues on Friday night at the St. Denis Centre.
 
Heading into their final home game of the regular season, the Lancers fall to 5-11 on the year while the Blues remain undefeated with a 16-0 record and remain atop the OUA east division standings.
 
The Blues displayed early why they are one of the top ranked teams in the country as they quickly build a 16-4 lead in the first set, en route to a 25-8 set win. In the second, the Blues dominated from the opening serve and once again built an early 10-2 lead that they used to secure the set win.
 
The Lancers came alive in the third set as they came from behind to tie the game at 11. However, Toronto's experience and size were too much for the Blue & Gold as the Blues rebounded and won the match 25-16.
 
Lancer head coach Lucas Hodgson shook things up with the Windsor starting line, opting to start a different combination of athletes for each set. Melissa Smyth and Rachael Cauchi led the way offensively with 3 kills each, while Carleigh Bailey led the way defensively for the Blue & Gold with 19 digs.
 
Toronto was led by Alina Dormann with 10 kills and 16.5 points, while Anna Licht also chipped in 10 kills.
 
Windsor will host the Trent Excalibur on Saturday night at 6:00pm at the St. Denis Centre. Prior to the game, the team will honour Smyth as she graduates from the program this year.
