QUICK FACTS

York

• With a 3-0 win (25-20, 25-17, 25-14) over the Rams Saturday, the women’s volleyball team picked up their third consecutive win and pulled them into a tie for first with the Toronto Varsity Blues for first overall in the OUA East.
• After a tight first set where the Lions came out victorious, the second and third set were all York.

Trent

• The Excalibur have proven to have a streaky start to the 2021-22 season, recently ending a three-game losing streak after winning two straight games right before that.
• However, all three of their victories are against winless RMC – they only have one set win against a team not named RMC.
