WINDSOR, Ont. - The St. Clair College men's volleyball team suffered their first loss of the season on Friday night at the SportsPlex against the Sheridan Bruins from Oakville, Ont.

The Saints lost the match by a score of 3-1. St. Clair got off to a slow start losing the first two sets by scores of 25-20. The Saints bounced back and won the third set 25-16 but ending up losing the fourth set 25-22 to end the comeback.

A quick look at the game stats and one may think the Saints won but great defence by Sheridan and untimely service and hitting errors cost St. Clair throughout the match. Middle Robert Carter (Wallacetown) had a solid game for St. Clair with 13 kills, two stuff blocks, three assists and two digs. Michael Knight (LaSalle) was also solid with 12 kills, one service ace, one stuff block and four digs coming off the bench and playing in three sets.

With the loss the Saints are now 3-1 on the season. The St. Clair men are currently ranked third in Ontario and 13th in Canada. The win improved Sheridan's record to 2-1. The Bruins were ranked seventh in Ontario heading into the match.
