WVB | Wesmen forced to third match after loss to Cascades

The Winnipeg Wesmen will have to go to work on Sunday to keep their season alive. 

The Wesmen women's volleyball team was unable to close out its Canada West quarter-final series Saturday, falling 3-0 (25-20, 25-16, 25-19) in Game 2 of the conference best-of-three series at the Duckworth Centre.

Game 3 goes Sunday at 1 p.m. to decide which team moves on to the Canada West final four. 

Gabrielle Attieh had 15 kills and 20 digs to lead the Cascades, who rebounded from a Game 1 loss Friday night. 
 
"We looked a little slow in all aspects of the game," Wesmen head coach Phil Hudson said. "We didn't really serve very well. They were in-system almost all the time, and one-on-one on the outside is very difficult. And they got more production out of their middles today."
 
The Cascades were a picture of consistency, a stark contrast to the night before when they had 14 service errors and lamented their mistakes in a four-set loss. Saturday, they recorded 78 digs and held Winnipeg to .015 hitting for the match, with three Wesmen regulars hitting in the negatives.
 
Lauren Attieh added 13 kills, and Emily Matsui had 19 digs. 
 
"Volleyball's a pretty simple game when your serve-pass game's in tune, so I think we were a bit better, and I think we can be even better (Sunday)," UFV head coach Janelle Rozema said. 
 
"Both sides know their opponents now, so both sides will be playing a pretty strategic match and there's going to be great volleyball to see (Sunday)."
 
There was little to cheer about on the Winnipeg side offensively, at least. Haille Bujan led the team with six kills and all-star Emma Parker managed just five kills on 40 swings. Parker, Ashleigh Laube and Taylor Cangemi each had 15 digs.
