Box Score The Warriors dropped a tightly contested match to the Western Mustangs on Saturday night at the PAC by a score of 3-2 (19-25, 25-21, 25-20, 22-25, 15-10). 

The loss is only Waterloo's third of the year and puts them at 14-3 going into their final game of the season on Sunday against the Windsor Lancers.

With a win over the Lancers the Warriors will clinch second spot but a loss and a Western win will result in a tie-breaker with the Mustangs to determine the second seed.

The Warriors opened the match the way they hoped with a 25-19 set win but the Mustangs battled back to take the next two 25-21, 25-20.

The resilient Warriors would find a way to get back in the match and send it to a fifth set thanks to a 25-22 fourth set win.  The fifth set would however be all Mustangs as they captured the deciding set 15-10 to pick up their 13^th win of the season.
