WINNIPEG - The Bobcats dug deep for another impressive five-set win Saturday night at University of Winnipeg's Duckworth Centre.
Â
After an incredible start, to fighting off match point in the fourth, to winning a close fifth-set, the Bobcats move to 8-6 in conference play with the 3-2 (25-22, 14-25, 12-25, 26-24, 15-13) win over the Wesmen.
Â
The match saw one of the most impressive beginnings to a Bobcat match in program history.
Â
Just a week after
Keely Anderson's nine ace record setting performance,
Danielle Dardis scored five aces in six points to give the Bobcats an early 8-3 lead.
Â
The Bobcats would take the first set but have to battle back after dropping the second and third.
Â
After fighting off match point in the fourth,
Rayvn Wiebe stepped to the line and served an ace to end the set 26-24.
Â
The Bobcats quickly took control in the fifth before Winnipeg answered back and tied it 13-13.
Â
Wiebe then scored on a kill to set up match point before a block by Anderson and
Camryn Hildebrand sealed it.
Â
Dardis' seven aces on the night are a career high, while
Nicole Ashauer had a career-high 25 digs.
Â
Wiebe had 13 kills on an astounding 62 swings to go with 14 digs, while Anderson also had a double-double with 12 kills and 15 digs.
Â
Brianne Stott had a career-high 18 digs as well.
Â
The Bobcats return home to conclude the regular season next weekend against the Regina Cougars.
