GAME FLOW:
In the opening game, the Lancers had a slow start but held good rallies against the host Warriors. Waterloo kicked off the game with a 10-3 run and the Lancers were unable to come back, falling 15-25.
The second set continued a similar pattern with the Warriors coming out strong on the attack and finding holes in Lancer territory to dig deep and extend their lead. With some chances to tighten up their ball control, the Blue and Gold could not settle down and find ways to bounce back, dropping the second set 16-25.
In the final set of the match, the Warriors held their momentum as the Lancers tried to put in a strong effort to close the gap. Despite Windsor trying to hold the Warriors off in the late stages of the set, they could not handle the pressure put on by Waterloo’s offense and fell 19-25 to close the game.
