The University of the Fraser Valley women's volleyball team saw its two-game win streak snapped on the road Friday evening, as the Camosun Chargers prevailed in four sets in Victoria.

All four sets were closely contested, with the match ultimately breaking the Chargers' way (23-25, 25-23, 25-22, 25-22).

The result allowed Camosun (3-2) to move ahead of the Cascades (2-3) and take sole possession of fourth place in the PACWEST conference. The two teams duel once again on Saturday in a 1 p.m. start at Camosun.

"The game just did not allow for any rhythm – there was 57 missed serves between the two teams," Cascades head coach Mike Gilray said, noting that those missed serves were split almost precisely down the middle with 29 for UFV and 28 for Camosun. "The biggest issue with the missed serves was, it made everybody afraid to make any mistakes. That's not the type of volleyball we're accustomed to, and how we train every day in our gym.

"But I've always said we learn more from our losses than our wins, and we're going to try to move forward and better ourselves tomorrow."

After the Cascades claimed the first set, the match pivoted in the second. Camosun built a 20-14 lead, only to watch UFV roar all the way back and tie it up 20-20. The hosts, though, finished the set strong, and went on to win the next two sets as well.

Amanda Matsui led the Cascades in both kills (13) and digs (13), and Kim Bauder notched eight kills and 12 digs of her own. Gilray also lauded the play of sophomore outside hitter Lexi Edwards, who came off the bench and gave the team a jolt of energy. She finished with three kills.

"I love that the girls hate losing as much as they do – that's a good thing," Gilray summarized. "We want to take the learning and lessons from that loss, but not dwell on it."
