Game Recap: Men's Volleyball | | TRU WolfPack

‘Pack take one off No. 9 Trinity Western but fall at home

QUICK FIRE
  • A dominant second set kept the Thompson Rivers WolfPack men's volleyball team in the match but the 'Pack were unable to keep pace late with the Trinity Western Spartans in a 3-1 (25-15, 18-25, 25-17, 25-17) loss inside the TCC.
DIFFERENCE MAKERS
  • Matthew Hamilton and Sam Flowerday both had nine kills for TRU while Flowerday added a trio of aces and Hamilton a pair of blocks. Middle Corbin Ockerman had an efficient seven kills on 12 attempts while also recording three blocks.
  • For the second night in a row Henry Rempel led the Spartans with 16 kills with Kaden Schmidt adding 11. Anselm Rein racked up 39 assists for the visitors.
     
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • It was the visitors who jumped out to an early lead with a first set victory of 25-15 before the 'Pack responded in the second. TRU hit .400 per cent as a team and took a three point lead at 14-11 that they'd never surrender. Hamilton and Ockerman both had key kills down the stretch as the 'Pack pulled out the 25-18 victory.
  • From there the nationally ranked Spartans were able to take control of the proceedings however and captured both the third and fourth sets by identical scores of 25-17.

NOTABLE
  • Ockerman's hitting percentage of .500 was the ninth time this season that the middle has hit .500 or better.
  • TRU moves to a record of 9-9 on the season with the result.
 
UP NEXT
  • TRU will hit the road next weekend when they take on the Fraser Valley Cascades in Abbotsford.
