CALGARY – The University of Fraser Cascades completed the weekend sweep with a 3-0 win over the University of Calgary Dinos women's volleyball team Saturday evening in the Jack Simpson Gym. 

The three sets varied in end scores as the teams went point for point until the last minutes, but the Cascades would come out on top, 26-24, 25-11, 25-19. 

Fraser Valley now runs its win streak to six in a row, the last five of which have all been 3-0 sweeps. With Saturday's straight sets win, 26-24, 25-11, 25-19, UFV now moves to 6-2 overall. Meanwhile, the Dinos fall to 3-5 in the early going.

Things went back and forth in the first set. An ace by Gabrielle Attieh gave the Cascades a 17-14 edge, only to see Calgary respond in a big way with a 9-2 run to go ahead 23-19. But, much like Friday's opener, UFV was able to turn it on down the stretch to claim the opener. 

Into the second set the Cascades would utilize the Dinos mistakes capitalizing on service aces and blocks. G. Attieh and Brooklyn Brodner combined for four straight kills for an early 11-5 lead before stretching things to 17-6. Brodner would come to end this set 25-11 with a kill.

It was a game of catchup in the third for Calgary. UFV started off with leads of 7-2 and 17-11, but the Dinos kept fighting to stay alive. Down 23-13, Calgary once again showed its fight, rattling off six in a row before the Cascades were finally able to close things out to claim the win.

"I think we played a somewhat solid Friday, but we knew that we could have played better, and it was really evident when we got to video. So, I think the confidence really seeped into the team because they knew how to be better tonight," noted UFV head coach Janelle Rozema. "We knew our side was going to be strong today. It was really fun to be a part of."

The Cascades finished off with a .263 attack percentage and 10 blocks, while the Dinos ended the night hitting .156 to go with six blocks overall. 

The Cascades will return home as they host the UBC Thunderbirds at the UFV Athletic Centre on Nov. 24 and 25.
