The UFV Cascades dropped a five-set contest (17-25, 25-16, 25-21, 21-25, 11-15) to the Brandon University Bobcats on Saturday in Manitoba.

With the result, the Cascades drop to 12-2 on the season, while Brandon moves to 2-12 this year.

How it happened:
With the opening set tied at 17, Brandon scored the final eight points of the set to take a lead in the match. 

UFV hit back in the second, scoring a six-point run to go up 12-6, before closing out the set 25-16 after a pair of Mandi Feist aces. 

The Cascades took a two sets to one lead after scoring five of the last six points in the third to win it 25-21, but a late four-point run from the Bobcats in the fourth helped them force a decisive fifth set.

Brandon took an early 4-1 lead in the final set, and that proved too much to overcome for the Cascades, as Brandon closed it out on an Avery Burgar kill.

Notable:
Talia Attieh led the Cascades with 14 kills, while Mandi Feist chipped in 13. Kinna Fisher had a team-high 23 assists, and Cailin Bitter added 21 on the night.

Up Next:
The Cascades continue their road swing next week with a pair of matches against the Regina Cougars on January 31 and February 1. Both matches can be seen live on Canada West TV.
