Grizzlies volleyball: Men set record and women clinch win

Feb. 1, 2017

The Georgian Grizzlies men’s and women’s volleyball teams had a big night at the Georgian Athletic Centre on Tuesday, Jan. 30 when they hosted the George Brown Huskies.

The men’s team continued their winning streak with an impressive 3-0 (25-16, 25-23, 25-19) victory over a Huskies team that put up a good fight. Adam Bielby had a team-high 15 points (11 kills, three service aces and one block) while Liam Gray had 34 assists and nine digs.

The win moves the Grizzlies to a perfect 15-0 on the season, which also set a Georgian record for wins in a season. The men’s volleyball team continues to sit in first place in the OCAA east division standings, two games up on the Durham Lords. The Grizzlies have already secured a spot in the OCAA Men’s Volleyball Championship and have three games remaining.

The women’s volleyball team put together a dominant performance, sweeping the Huskies in three straight sets with scores of 25-13, 25-12 and 25-12.

Kelsey Watson continued her strong play since returning to the lineup, leading the team with 17 points (11 kills, five service aces and one block) while teammate Ashley Mavreas had seven kills, one ace and led the team with 15 digs.

The win gives the Grizzlies a 10-5 record and clinches them at least a playoff berth. Georgian currently sit in fourth place in the OCAA east division but they could reach as high as second depending on how the final three games go.

Both teams will play their final regular season home games this coming Sunday, Feb. 5 when they host the Centennial Colts at 1 and 3 p.m. at the Georgian Athletic Centre.
