The women’s volleyball team lost their second and third sets of the season, but not their fourth in their first of two meetings with their toughest opponent so far this season, the VIU Mariners.
Despite the teams’ identical undefeated records coming into the weekend’s matchup, a difference was apparent from the match’s opening. The Cascades began Friday’s game with an uncharacteristic lack of composure, allowing the Mariners to take the first set by a 10-point margin off the strong play of Leanna Gildersleeve.
Following briefly contesting a call on the landing of the ball that ended the set, it seemed coach Dennis Bokenfohr did everything possible to get his team back into the game. Never sitting down for the rest of the match, Bokenfohr was more vocal, coaching and addressing his players in between points.
