Box Score By the time the postseason rolls around, one thing will be certain about the 7^th-ranked Waterloo Warriors men's volleyball team – they will be battle-tested in tight matches.

For the fourth time in their last six matches, the Warriors won a five-set marathon, triumphing over the Toronto Varsity Blues (25-22, 21-25, 25-17, 16-25, 15-12) on Saturday afternoon in Toronto. The win was Waterloo's 8^th in a row, and it pushed the Warriors' record to 15-3 on the season.

James Evans (Rockwood/Warriors) had 14 kills to lead the Warriors, while Scott Thomson (St. Marys/) added 38 assists and 8 digs. Erich Woolley (New Dundee/) chipped in with 12 digs of his own, and Aleks Poldma (Toronto/Warriors) registered 13 total points.

William Colucci and Jake Dysselhof combined for 30 of Toronto's 57 kills on the afternoon, including a match-high 20 for Colucci. It wasn't enough for the Blues, though, as they fall to 5-13 on the season.

The win guarantees that the Warriors will finish no lower than third in the OUA standings, but Waterloo still has a huge match on the docket for the final weekend of the regular season. On Friday night, Waterloo will take on the 15-3 Western Mustangs in a match that will likely decide second place in the OUA – as well as a first-round playoff bye.

First serve for the showdown with the Mustangs is slated for 8pm at the Physical Activities Complex.
