Men's Volleyball Is Ready To Take On All Challengers In Toronto This Weekend
With five preseason wins under their belt from the MCAC preseason tournament hosted last weekend at Red River College, Men's Volleyball takes their perfect record to the Ontario Colleges Athletic Conference this weekend and the 2016 Seneca Sting Challenge.
CMU took convincing wins over USB, Providence, Red River, ACC and University of Winnipeg to capture their first tournament win in the MCAC and to make themselves the early favourites in their home province. "We were expecting to have a very strong team this season, but we weren't sure how the others would stack up," said Men's Volleyball Assistant Coach, Josh Ewert, "we had good matches with everyone, it just seemed that we have really improved in our ability to close out games and that will help us alot this season."

Powerful striker Bailee Ploshynsky gave the CMU back four all they could handle and three times found a way to get behind the defensive line in the first half, only to have Balsillie snuff out each and every scoring chance. On the other end, CMU created a few chances of their own. Marijka Yashyshyn tried her luck twice from distance in the opening half and the relentless running of Claudia Dueck came close to a Blazer goal in the 40th minute.
