by Crystal Jonescu, Huskies Sport Information Assistant

November 5 - The game scores are as follows: 1st game 25-22, 2nd game 25-18, 3rd game 33-31. Both teams had great blocks, passes, and hits throughout the match but the Bisons ended with control winning the match in three straight against the Huskies.

Both teams came out with lots of power in the first game. Essentially kills are determining the game. All passes up, sets up, and hits to the floor. Strength was definitely shown right from the beginning in both teams. In the first game the Bisons had more momentum moving them to finish the game 25-22.

In game two the Bisons started pounding the ball at the Huskies immediately. To slowly break the Bisons drive, Huskies Mark Dodds and Kris Brand crushed the ball onto their court. The Bisons quickly regained control of the game. Huskies head coach Brian Gavlas tried to change the way the game was by substituting players. The Huskies put some points on the board, but the Bisons pushed through to take the game 25-18.

In the third game everything was on the line. Both teams came out strong with blocks and kills. The match was very close throughout. After a long battle the Bisons finished it 33-31, to win the match.

For the match the top kills for the Bisons goes to both #2 Joshua Klassen and #8 Matt Balchin at 13 kills each. For the Huskies #13 Kris Brand had the highest number of kills at 16. For digs the Huskies Mark Thibeault had 7 and the Bisons #9 Kyle Joslin had 8.
