Cougars lose in five to Winnipeg

Box Score The University of Regina's women's volleyball team pushed Winnipeg to the brink with wins in the second and the third sets to go up 2-1 in the match, but the Wesmen came back with victories in both the fourth and the fifth to hold home court at the Duckworth Centre on Friday night.
 
After Winnipeg (1-2) opened up the match with a 25-22 win, the Cougars responded immediately with a massive 25-9 victory in the second. The visitors continued the momentum with a 25-20 win in the third set, only to have the Wesmen pull out a 26-24 win in the fourth to push the match to a deciding set.
 
Winnipeg looked like it was going to cruise to victory in the fifth set after a big run after the side switch. The Wesmen opened up a 14-10 lead, but the Cougars went on a big run with Diana Lumbala serving and brought the score level at 14-14. But the U of R couldn't complete the comeback – Winnipeg collected the next point to put an end to the Cougar run, then clinched the match after an attack by Regina's Brooklyn Reynolds was just wide.
 
The Cougars (0-3) will get another crack at Winnipeg on Saturday night in Winnipeg as the two teams will meet for the fifth time already this season. First serve is scheduled for 6:45 PM (CDT) following the men's match.
