The sister act of Gabrielle and Lauren Attieh continues to be UFV women's volleyball's biggest hit.
 
Trailing 23-18 in the third set, Lauren Attieh notched a kill to give the Cascades a point and side out. Then, the second year outside hitter from Surrey, B.C. stepped up to the service line and served out the match – six consecutive points, including an ace, with sister Gabrielle adding a pair of kills including the set winner. It capped a set where the Cascades once trailed 9-3 and led for the first time at 24-23. 
 
With the third-set momentum at their backs, the Cascades just kept going, taking set four and the match (19-25, 25-15, 25-23, 25-22). 
 
UFV extends is win streak to four, leveling their record at 4-4 on the season, while Winnipeg holds the same record of 4-4 after UFV took both games this weekend. 
 
"Learning how to win two matches in a row on the road was something we are working on," said head coach Janelle Rozema following her squad's second 3-1 victory in as many nights. "Tonight, the team did a really good job of rallying and bringing out a high level of consistent play which was great to see." 
 
Gabrielle Attieh finished the weekend with 44 kills and 23 digs, while sister Lauren, the U SPORTS women's volleyball athlete of the week earlier in November, ended the weekend with 29 kills and 27 digs, respectively.
 
A pivotal part of Saturday's match was the timeout Rozema called when the Cascades trailed 23-18 in the third set. 
 
"I talked about specific assignments and how our tactical discipline was carrying us tonight," she said. "I reminded each of them to think what each player's role was in each point. That was it. They responded really well."
  
Second-year libero Emily Matsui paced the Cascades on the defensive side with 19 digs. 
 
In addition to the veterans, Rozema praised first-year Cascade Natalie Lemoine-Sells who was returning to her hometown Winnipeg for the first time. 
 
"Natalie responded well on the defensive side and with her serve," said Rozema. "Especially with the pressure of playing in front of family and friends. We heard some 'Go Cascades' chants tonight, which is nice to hear on the road."
 
The Cascades return home to take on the Mount Royal Cougars (5-3). First serve for the women will be Friday Nov. 25 at 8 p.m. followed by Saturday at 7 p.m. Saturday is also "Stuff a Cruiser" night as the Cascades team up with Abbotsford Police in support of the Abbotsford Hospital pediatric unit. Fans are encouraged to bring a new unwrapped toy to the game in support of the event.
