Kodiaks men’s volleyball sweeps, women split

By Dale Woodard on February 1, 2022.

The Lethbridge College Kodiaks men’s volleyball team scored the weekend sweep, but the Kodiaks women’s team fell one game shy of a 2-0 showing.

The Kodiaks men downed the Ambrose Lions 3-1 in Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference play Saturday night in Calgary.

The victory came 24 hours after the Kodiaks’ similar 3-1 win over the Lions to kick off the weekend Friday night at the Val Matteotti Gymnasium.

The wins move the Kodiaks to 7-3, good for third place in the South Division, two back of the second place Briercrest Clippers (8-2) and six back of the first place Red Deer Polytechnic Kings (10-2).

On the women’s side, the Kodiaks opened the weekend with a 3-1 win Friday night in Lethbridge, but fell 3-1 Saturday night in Calgary to sit at 6-3 this season.

That puts them into a tie for second in the South with the Lions, who improve to 6-6 with the win.

In the men’s game Saturday, Nolan Moes led the way with 11 kills, three service aces and four blocked shots.

Jackson Gaehring added 12 kills and Adam Revet served up four aces.

On Friday at the Val Matteotti Gymnasium, Moes had 10 kills and seven digs.

Malcolm Fisher had 18 digs and Gaehring had 11.

Cameron Piers had three service aces.

In the women’s game Saturday night, Jamie Brown had 14 kills and eight digs.

Reia Taylor added seven kills and seven digs.

The Kodiaks are back this week with three games.

They host the Old Broncos Thursday night with the women’s game at 6 p.m. and the men at 8 p.m.

They’re in Calgary Saturday and Sunday to play the SAIT Trojans
