It’s the third straight match day for the Avalanche who will end their regular season schedule on Sunday. So far this weekend they have split their matches with the CBC Bearcats coming off a fifth set thriller on Saturday. They dropped the first two sets before roaring back to take the next two but ran out of gas losing 15-10 in the fifth. Regardless of the outcome they will finish fourth heading into the postseason and will host a semi-final in two weeks against the VIU Mariners.
The Royals are also playing their third match in as many days. They are coming off back-to-back wins over the Capilano Blues and will play in their final match of the regular season today. They have already qualified for the playoffs and will face the Camosun Chargers in two weeks in a semi-final. In the seasonal series with the Avalanche the Royals are 2-1.
