The University of Windsor Lancers women's volleyball team delivered two dominant performances this weekend (Jan. 9-10) as they defeated the York Lions in straight sets twice at the Toldo Lancer Centre as they resumed their OUA regular season following the winter break.

FRIDAY
The Lancers continued their strong run of play on Friday night, earning straight sets win over the York Lions at the Toldo Lancer Centre. Windsor closed out the match by scores of 25-18, 25-23, and 25-14.

Windsor set the tone early with consistent pressure from the service line and steady offence across all three sets. The Lions pushed back in the second, forcing a tight finish, but the Lancers responded with timely kills and solid blocking to regain momentum and pull away late.

Offensively, Aliah Admans paced all players with 16.5 points, finishing with 16 kills on an efficient .538 hitting percentage. Aryn Markett added eight kills, while Raiya Millin chipped in with five kills and two service aces to keep York off balance.

SATURDAY

From the opening serve, the Lancers controlled the tempo with aggressive serving and balanced offensive production. Windsor jumped out to early leads in the first two sets and never looked back.
