Huskies Upend WolfPack In Men’s Volleyball
KAMLOOPS — The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack got out to a great start but confidence problems got the best of them again in Canada West men’s volleyball play.
The WolfPack won the first set and were close to winning the second but wound up losing 3-1 to the visiting University of Saskatchewan Huskies. The scores on Friday (Jan 15) on the Warner Rentals Court at the Tournament Capital Centre were 23-25,28-26,25-18,25-19.
Saskatchewan improves to 8-7 on the year while TRU drops to 4-11.
“We had opportunities in the second set,” stated WolfPack head coach Pat Hennelly. “We fought back and got big plays from Kyle (Behliels, 1st year, middle, Edmonton, AB) and Randy (Grundmann, 3rd year, outside hitter, Winnipeg, MB). We just got a little shaky on serve-receive in the end and made some mistakes on blocks and had errors. It is frustrating. Last year, we would have pulled it out. It is unfortunate that we can’t shake the nerves and we can’t see the other team is in the same spot as we are. We are beating ourselves. I thought that second set was ours.”
