Game Recap: Men's Volleyball | | TRU WolfPack

WolfPack go toe-to-toe with No. 3 ranked Golden Bears inside TCC

QUICK FIRE
  • The Thompson Rivers WolfPack men's volleyball team battled back to the third and nearly forced a fifth set in a 3-1 (25-21, 25-18, 22-25, 25-23) defeat at the hands of the Alberta Golden Bears Saturday afternoon in the TCC. 
DIFFERENCE MAKERS
  • Alex Howard led the way for the WolfPack offensively with 11 kills while Mostafa Tayea and Elliott Rourke added seven and six respectively. Middle Daniel Hitchens tallied a game-high five block assists with setter Walker Sodaro adding four block assists and 29 kill assists on the night.
  • Tyson DeZutter (12 kills) and Dylan Martens (11) paced the Golden Bears.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • TRU was right with the Golden Bears early, turning an 18-16 deficit into a 20-19 lead after a 5-1 run that was punctuated by a block from Rourke and Hitchens. That was as close the WolfPack could get in the set however as Alberta ended the first on a 6-1 run of their own en route to the 25-21 victory.
  • After Alberta doubled their lead with 25-18 win in the second, the WolfPack bounced back in the third.
  • Tayea had four kills in the frame and Hitchens and Sodaro combined for back-to-back blocks to give TRU a commanding lead at 20-16. Alberta cut that lead to one at 21-20 but from there a kill from Tayea allowed the WolfPack to see out the set with a 25-22 victory.
  • The fourth set couldn't have been closer. With their backs against the wall down 22-17, the WolfPack ripped off a 5-0 run that featured a pair of kills from Britain Ward to knot things back up at 22-22. The 'Pack couldn't complete the comeback however as Alberta held on for the 25-23 victory.

UP NEXT
  • The WolfPack will hit the road next weekend as they travel to Vancouver for a pair of games against the UBC Thunderbirds. Those games are set for Nov. 6 and 7 at 5:30 and 4:00 p.m.
