The Camosun Chargers caught fire in a couple of pivotal moments, allowing them to close out a weekend sweep of the University of the Fraser Valley men's volleyball team in Victoria on Saturday afternoon.

The Cascades (5-14), coming off a four-set loss on Friday, dropped the rematch by scores of 25-16, 25-14, 25-22. Camosun improved to 12-7.

"We did start a little bit better than last night," Cascades head coach Nathan Bennett said afterward. "But it seems like in each set, there's one rotation that gets us. It comes down to being a little bit more engaged in the moment to side-out.

"When we were in rhythm, everything was pretty good. But those moments were too far between. Camosun played really well and showed their depth, which was impressive. We fought hard, and at the end of the day, they were the better team."

The Cascades, indeed, had a brighter start than they did on Friday, but Camosun's Brendan Folkerts swung the momentum with a five-point service run – featuring three straight aces – to give the hosts a 13-7 lead, and they pulled away from there.

The second set followed a similar script, but this time it was Graham Basi boosting the Chargers from the service line. He served for nine straight points, with UFV attack errors greasing the skids, as Camosun grabbed an 18-8 advantage en route to the win.

The Cascades were much more efficient offensively the third set, building an 18-15 lead after Justin Peleshytyk hammered an ace and a kill in quick succession. But the Chargers responded with a 7-1 surge to reclaim control, and while UFV would draw back to within 23-22 after a Dylan Neudorf kill, Camosun wrapped things up on a Vitor Pereira kill.

Caleb Kastelein (eight kills) and Landon Uy (seven kills) were the Cascades' most prolific attackers, and Uy added two aces. Setter Graham Walkey registered 21 assists.

Folkerts, Pereira and Dale MacDonell tied for team-high honours with seven kills apiece for the Chargers.

The Cascades volleyball teams return home for a Friday, Jan. 31 date with the Capilano Blues (women 6 p.m., men 8 p.m.).
