The Grizzlies lost their first regular season game in nearly two years against the Fleming Knights on Saturday in Peterborough.
The Georgian Grizzlies men's volleyball team travelled to face the Fleming Knights on Saturday to open the second half of their OCAA regular season in Peterborough, ON.
The men's team found themselves in some unfamiliar territory.
A gritty effort by the Knights pushed the Grizzlies to the limit and in a tight finish it was Fleming who pulled out a 3-2, five set victory. The Knights won with set scores of 25-23, 22-25, 21-25, 25-20 and 15-13.
It was the first regular season loss for the Grizzlies in the last two seasons, a win streak that lasted 27 games. Georgian's last regular season defeat came on Feb. 17, 2016.
Jake Edwards (Barrie) led the Grizzlies with 18 kills along with one block while teammate Darien Haynes (Barrie) had 13 points (10 kills, 3 blocks). Liam Gray (Barrie) had 55 assists along with 10 digs in the loss.
