Box Score The York University Lions men's volleyball team started their season off on the right note, taking a straight sets win over the RMC Paladins at the Tait McKenzie Centre Friday night. 
 
The Paladins never took more than a two-point lead for the duration of the game, with the Lions not providing a window for their opponents to build any momentum.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• The first set ended 25-18 to York and was the most competitive one with the teams alternating points early on. However the second and third sets saw the Lions soar past their opponents with a 25-14 victory, with impressive outings from first team substitutes in the third set. 
• Luke de Greeff showed what he can do by scoring the most kill points (9) and producing several important dig saves. 
• His teammates Josh Fadare, Dennis Cota and Andrew Tauhid also had a night to remember with 8,8,5 points respectively. Tauhid and Fadare also produced extraordinary jump-serve performances throughout the game, with both players earning 5 and 3 ace points respectively.   

LOOKING AHEAD
 
The 1-0 Lions will now look to make it two straight to begin their season, with the second half of a back-to-back against RMC taking place this Saturday evening. It is a 8 p.m. start from the Tait McKenzie Centre.
