Rustlers men’s volleyball falters against Huskies

The Lakeland College Rustlers men’s volleyball team dropped a pair of games to the visiting Keyano College Huskies.

The men were ready to play the Huskies, who up to that point, were 15-3 on the season, on Jan. 24 and 25. The 13-5 Rustlers were looking to make a statement but couldn’t manage to find their footing.

Friday’s game saw the men trade close sets back and fourth. Lakeland took the first set 26-24 but dropped the second 22-25. They narrowly lost the third set 25-27 and were bested 17-25 in a fourth and final set.

Saturday afternoon saw Lakeland and Keyano close in the first set with the Huskies taking it 26-24. Unfortunately, for the Rustlers, they weren’t able to find much momentum in the second. The set started off close before Keyano began to widen the gap, winning 25-22. A 25-18 final set for Keyano sealed the game as the Rustlers dropped in three straight sets.

With the games in the books, Keyano improved to 17-3 while the Rustlers fell to 13-7.

Next weekend, Jan. 31 and Feb. 1, the Rustlers will be looking to bounce back with an away-and-home game against The King’s University Eagles.
