KAMLOOPS, BC - The Bobcats made quick work of the host Thompson Rivers WolfPack Friday night by storming to a straight-sets victory 3-0 (25-14, 25-18, 25-14). The Bobcats trailed only once and put the 'Pack under pressure from the service line, cruising to Brandon's fourth straight conference victory.

A week off seemed to hurt and not help the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack as they returned to league play in the competitive Canada West conference.

The Bobcats controlled the game from the onset. The lead changed only once in all three sets. Brandon was led offensively by Seth Friesen with eight kills. Elliott Viles and Matt Powell contributed seven a piece.

TRU's main offensive weapon was Tim Dobbert with six kills. Jordan Foot and Randy Grundmann each had 5.

The win improves Brandon's record to 4-1 while the WolfPack fall to 1-2.

The home crowd was loud and tried to will the WolfPack to victory, but the Bobcats responded well to the hostile environment.

"It certainly has not been kind to us in the past. That was our focus going in. We wanted to get comfortable from the service line and serve-receive. I'm happy that we did," says coach Grant Wilson.

Both teams will go at it again on Saturday on the Warner Rentals Court at the Tournament Capital Centre. Game time is 6:45 pm.  Webcast on Canada West TV will begin around 6:35 pm.
