Box Score The Warriors improved to 3-1 on the season coming out on top in their second 5-setter in as many nights.  Waterloo was able to slip past Windsor on Saturday afternoon 3-2 (25-27, 25-23, 23-25, 25-20,15-12) to put themselves in first place in the OUA standings with six points.

Zachary Doherty (Goderich/) was outstanding for the black and gold tallying 19 kills while adding three service aces and 12 digs.  Doherty had a kill percentage of 25.6% in the win.

James Evans (Rockwood/Warriors) and Aleks Poldma (Toronto/Warriors) also played a contributing factor in the win with 14 and 12 kills respectively. 

Greg Simone and Shawn Reaume each tallied 13 kills for the Lancers while Alexander Vukovic added 10 kills in a losing cause for the Lancers who dropped to 0-2 on the season.

The Lancers and Warriors battled throughout the first set, trading momentum swings to begin the contest. Windsor could not convert on its first set point of the match, as consecutive blocks from the Warriors gave them an opportunity to draw first blood. However, after crucial kill from Adam Thompson evened the game, Greg Simone took over on his serve. The third-year outside painted the back corner on his first serve, and followed that with a low ball that tipped just over the net and fell flat onto the Warriors side of the court, handing Windsor the first set.

The second half was much of the same from the two sides who traded points up to the technical timeout, with the visitors holding a slight 16-15 advantage. Waterloo went up by a couple in the latter part of the set, but a big block from Thompson evened the stanza at 22-22. However, the guests took three of the next four points to draw even with the Lancers at one game apiece.

Looking to regroup, the Lancers jumped out to a 5-1 advantage early in the third. Another huge block by Thompson energized the St. Denis Centre crowd and maintaining the Lancer spread. The home side took a 16-12 lead into the technical timeout. The men maintained their lead throughout, and re-took a one-set lead. The Lancers could not carry the momentum into the fourth, as Waterloo jumped out to an early lead that it wouldn't relinquish, sending the game to a fifth and deciding frame.

The squads traded leads early in the final set before consecutive Lancer blocks and a Warriors attack error gave the home side  a 7-4 lead. However, Waterloo took six of the next eight points to pull ahead by one. Waterloo picked up their first match point at 14-12, and Tyler Motherwell (Toronto/Warriors) iced the contest with a kill from the middle of the net.

Waterloo will now turn their attention to their home opener on Saturday when Guelph is in town.  Game time is set for 2pm at the PAC.
