Mitrovic and Abba continued to slam down balls for the V-Reds, building a small 14-12 differential. Cape Breton fought back, with some solid net play from Ferguson to keep things close, tying the match up at 20-20. The power of the V-Reds spikes proved to be too much for the Capers, as Rebecca Glancy knocked down the final point to take the set 25-20.   


Mitrovic went back to the service line to start the third set, quickly racking up a 6-1 lead. Rebecca Glancy added to her total 12 kills to make the score 12-5.

Finally, as she did for the previous two sets, Glancy spikes down the last kill taking the set 25-20, and the match 3-0.

 Coach Jilliane Goulet was impressed with her team's performance, saying. "CBU did a good job at pushing back today, they definitely gave us a match, they pushed us to play better and you could see that in the end result."


The next action for the Varsity Reds will be after the Christmas break on Sunday, January 12th, where they will play host to the Université de Moncton Aigles Bleues, at the Richard J. Currie Centre.
