Box Score The Waterloo Warriors used a complete team effort including 12 service aces to take down the Windsor Lancers in straight sets (25-17, 25-19, 25-21) on Friday night at the PAC.  

Three different players reached double digits in points with Nastsha Spaling, Casey Clunas (Harriston) and Claire Mackenzie (Vancouver) leading the charge.  Emily Needles (Thorndale) was also on cue all night at the setter's position finishing with 26 assists while adding seven digs on the defensive side of the ball.

With the win Waterloo improves to 3-11 on the season while Windsor remains two points ahead at 4-10.

The opening set saw Waterloo take a commanding 7-2 lead after five straight service points by Spaling.  The Warriors would maintain that lead throughout with Needles capping off the set, surprising the Lancers with a dump onto their side of the court for the 25-17 set win.

Windsor would regain their composure early in the second set, taking an early 7-6 lead but again the Warriors stepped up their service game this time with Clunas notching six straight points to give her side a 13-6 lead.  The Warriors opened up that lead to 20-12 on stellar serves by Mackenzie tallying several of her six aces in the match.  Down 24-12, Windsor gave a valiant comeback effort putting away seven straight points but the lead proved to be too much as Waterloo took it 25-19.

The momentum continued in Waterloo's favour early in the third set thanks to great digs by Kristen Bartmann (Uxbridge) and solid attacks by Spaling as the Warriors jumped out to a 19-13 lead.  Windsor was however not ready to roll over, tallying eight of the next 10 points to even the score at 21-all.  The Lancers roll would stop there with Spaling putting away one of her eight kills as Waterloo notched the next four points to win the set 25-21 and match, 3-0.

The story of the match for Windsor was their reception problems with 12 in the match compared to Waterloo's seven.  Waterloo was also a force at the net with 13 team blocks while Windsor could only muster five.

Waterloo will be back at it tomorrow night when they welcome the Western Mustangs (4-10) to the PAC.  Game time is set for 6pm.
