On Saturday, the York University Lions men's volleyball team fell on the road to the Windsor Lancers 3-1.
 
Both teams came out hard in the first set. The Lancers scored first with a kill from Dami Alalade, but the Lions followed up with points of their own with a kill from Aleksander Grzegorczyk.

The Lions opened the second set with a point off an error by the Lancers, but that didn't stop the home team from pouring in points and taking a quick lead. The Lions began to close the gap with a kill from Andrew Tauhid, a Lancer error followed by another kill from Tauhid to make the score 12-13. Sadly, the Lancers peeled away to win the second set 21-25.

In the fourth set, the Lancers came out full speed as they took the lead early, gaining a series of four points and kept the four-point deficit going, ending the final set 20-25.
