Men’s Volleyball back in losing habit
Having lost their last four, Men’s Volleyball (9-10) needs a victory over Queen’s this weekend to cement a post-season appearance. The Golden Gaels (16-2) lead the Ontario University Athletic with 32 points, and defeated the Blues 3-2 on Oct. 28.
Currently in sixth place, U of T is in the playoffs with a win over Queen’s this Friday. If the Blues do not post a victory, Windsor (8-11) might be able to seize the last playoff spot.
In recent action, U of T has lost their last four, all on the road. Guelph defeated the Blues 3-0 Friday before McMaster put down U of T 3-1 Saturday. Ryerson and York both posted 3-0 victories over the Blues last weekend.

Traveling to McMaster (14-3) Friday before hosting Brock (7-10) Saturday, U of T can take the top playoff spot if they win out and if Western Ontario (16-1) loses to either Windsor (3-14) or Lakehead (2-15) this week. Western defeated the Blues 3-1 Jan. 21 to take the head-to-head advantage.
Over the weekend, the Blues were able to squeak out a 3-2 victory here over Ottawa Saturday following a 3-0 win at Guelph. Last weekend, U of T took a 3-0 decision at their cross-town rivals Ryerson before defeating hosts York 3-2 Saturday.
