Box Score
Guelph, ON - The University of Guelph Men's Volleyball team lost in straight sets versus the Waterloo Warriors on Friday night at the W.F. Mitchell Athletics Centre.  Set scores were 25-19, 30-28 and 25-17 in favour of the Warriors.  With the loss, the Gryphons fall to 8-9 on the season while Waterloo improves to 13-5.

The first set would start of with a big rally, as Patrick Strazlkowski (St. Catherine's, ON) would end it with a solo block for the first point of the game. The crowd would ignite and the Gryphons would feel the energy of the building behind them. Waterloo, however, would not let it get to them, as they would out-kill the Gryphons in the set 14-10 to win the set 25-19.
 
Set number two was intense to say the least. Guelph would be first to 16 points, with great play from Connor Cressman (Waterloo, ON) and Joshua Green (Georgetown, ON). At 24-23 Waterloo, the teams would play a huge rally that would go in favour of the Gryphons finally, after multiple hits and digs from each side. When the dust settled on a wild second set, it was the Warriors who came out on top 30-28.
 
The Warriors would carry the momentum from that second set into the third. Braden Cok (Waterloo, ON) and Aaron Wiersma (St. Catherines) would lead Waterloo in kills while Gibson Graham (Markham, ON) had 43 assists. The Warriors would win the final set 25-17 and take the match three sets to zero.
 
Joshua Green would be the stand out player for Guelph with 6 kills and 4 digs. The Gryphons have two matches remaining on their regular season schedule, both at home.  Up next, a matchup with RMC (0-16) on Friday, February 6th, followed by a matchup with Queen's (11-5) on Saturday, February 7th.  Both matches get underway at 8pm.
