Defending champs sweep Lancer Men's Volleyball

The Lancer men's volleyball team was swept 3-0 (11-25, 23-25, 17-25) by the No. 2 ranked McMaster Marauders on Sunday afternoon at the St. Denis Centre.
 
With the loss, the Lancers fall to 4-8 on the season, while the Marauders improve to 11-1 and remain in first place in the OUA.
 
The Marauders dominated the Lancers on both sides of the ball in the first set with 10 blocks and 10 kills. In the second, Windsor made many strategic changes, including add a three man block, to help lessen the success of the Marauder attack.
 
Multiple errors from the Marauders allowed the Lancers to take the lead for the first time in the second set, however were unable to secure the set win. In the third set, the Lancers did not lower their game and keep up team moral, but McMaster still took the set and secured the game after many long rallies.
 
Windsor was led by Gabriel Burlacu with nine kills and five digs, and Greg Simone with eight.
 
Andrew Richards led the visiting Marauders with 10 kills, while Danny Demyanenko contributed eight kills.
 
The Lancers will take to the court again next weekend when they host the Ryerson Rams on Friday night and the Toronto Varsity Blues on Saturday. Both games are slated for 8:00pm at the St. Denis Centre and can be seen live at www.oua.tv.
