Guelph, Ont. – The University of Guelph women's volleyball team defeated the Brock Badgers 3-1 Friday night at the W.F. Mitchell Athletics Center. Set scores were 25-17, 25-11, 21-25 & 25-14. With the win, the Gryphons improve to 6-2 on the season and have now won four in a row. 
 
Guelph jumped out to an early lead 7-1 lead in the first set and Brock could get no closer than to within 4 points as the Gryphons won 25-17. Set 2 started almost the same as Guelph led 8-2 and 16-6 at the technical timeout as they cruised to a comfortable 25-11 win. In the third set, some lineup changes from Brock seemed to breathe new life into them as they battled hard early on and then forged a 22-18 lead before closing the set at 25-21. Set 4 started poorly for Guelph as they fell behind 8-5, but a 6-1 run enabled them to reclaim the lead and the momentum. From there, the Gryphons pressured Brock into service errors as they pulled away to take the set and the match at 25-14.
 
Coach Funk stated, "This was an important win for us as it gives us some separation from some other teams in the standings. We had a decent execution level tonight and Brock wasn't as strong as they had been in other matches. We almost allowed them back into the match at the start of the fourth set but recovered with good defense and serving in the end." Maddie DeDecker led the Guelph offense tonight with 18 points (14 kills, 3 aces, 1 block) followed by Jen Johnstone with 14 (5 kills, 4 aces, 5 blocks) while defensively, Kristen Almhjell contributed 11 digs and solid serve receiving. The Gryphons now have a bye weekend next weekend and will return to action on Nov. 28 at 6pm at Waterloo.
