The Brock Badgers men’s volleyball team fell 3-0 (22-25, 23-25, 24-26) against the Toronto Varsity Blues on Friday, Nov. 8 at the Goldring Centre in Toronto.

Third-year outside hitter Devin Cooney was the points leader for the Badgers as he earned 13 points off a match-leading 13 kills.

The Badgers went down early into the first set and strung together an impressive run to bring the set within one point, but unfortunately fell 22-25 in the set.

In a back-and-forth second set Brock could not hang on as they narrowly fell short with a 23-25 set loss.

The third and final set ended 24-26 as it followed the trend of numerous lead changes as the Badgers could not mount a comeback and extend the game.

The Varsity Blues led the match with a .287 hitting percentage to the Badgers’ .250.

Adam Shapcott led the Badgers in assists with 37 and earned eight digs along the way.
