WVB: Gryphons sweep Waterloo at home

Box Score
Guelph, ON - The University of Guelph women's volleyball team swept the Waterloo Warriors in straight sets Friday night at the W.F. Mitchell Athletics Center. Set scores were 25-21, 25-13 and 25-17. The first set saw the Gryphons start strong as they opened up an 8-3 lead early on. Leading 16-12 at the technical timeout, a 5-1 run allowed Guelph to take charge, but a late Waterloo run narrowed the deficit to three points before a Jen Johnstone (North Vancouver, BC) kill finished the set 25-21. Set two again saw the Gryphons start well as they forged a big lead in the middle of the set to win comfortably at 25-13. The third set was close early on but Guelph led 16-10 at the technical timeout. From there, Waterloo could get no closer than five points as the Gryphons closed out the match winning 25-17.
 
Coach Funk said, "Tonight we didn't let our foot off the gas after the second set and played steady volleyball to finish the match. I thought Katelyn Larson set a very good game and Kristen Almhjell was steady on serve receive which really helped us stay on an even keel tonight." Maddie DeDecker again led the Guelph offense with 12 points (12 kills) followed by Shannon Morelli with 8 (7 kills, 1 block). The Gryphons next action is next Friday when they host the RMC Paladins on Friday night at 6pm followed by Senior Night on Saturday at 6pm versus the Queen's Gaels.
