MOHAWK 3, REDEEMER 2 (FINAL)

Mohawk jumped out to an early two-set lead (25-19, 25-17) before the Royals grabbed the momentum and backed by a crowd of about 400 fans, took Game 3 (25-23) and Game 4 (25-22) to tie it up at 2-2.

In what seemed like a playoff type atmosphere, both teams battled right to the end, as extra points were needed. The Royals had two match points but couldn't convert as Mohawk seized their opportunity when they went up 17-16 with one more point and the 18-16 win.

Dave Klomps had a game-high 17 kills and 19 total points. Derek Vandenbrink led the team in defence and had a game-high 11 digs. Aaron Tolkamp led both teams with three serving aces.

Redeemer currently sits tied for fifth in the West Division with 14 points and an eight-point cushion over Niagara who currently sits in seventh place (the top six teams make the playoffs).

Both Redeemer volleyball teams travel to Fanshawe College on Friday for a matchup against the Falcons. Game time is at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Fanshawe currently sits ahead of both the men's and women's teams and will be another tough test for the Royals.
