The York University Lions men's volleyball team played the second leg of their doubleheader against the Windsor Lancers on Saturday afternoon, looking to bounce back after falling to the Lancers 3-0.

The Lancers seized control early, jumping out to an 18-5 lead. They took the first set 25-11 and went up 1-0. The second set was pure entertainment, with both teams trading points throughout the set. However, despite staving off a pair of set points and cutting the Lancer lead, the Lions just could not get over the hump and lost the set 25-23 to take a 2-0 lead.

The Lions took a 3-1 lead to begin the third set but could not hold on to the early advantage. The Lancers then went on a 12-4 run to grab a 13-7 lead, one that eventually swelled to as high as eight. The Lancers ultimately took the set 25-17 and the match 3-0.  Chris Hoffman led the Lions in kills with 14.

LOOKING AHEAD: 

The Lions record now stands at 6-6 on the season. They return to Tait Mckenzie Centre for their first home matches of the new year next Friday and Saturday against the Trent Excalibur. Both matches are slated to begin at 8:00 pm. You can get your tickets here or stream the games live, for free on OUA TV.
