'Birds fall to No.8-ranked Wesmen

WINNIPEG -  The U SPORTS No.7-ranked UBC Thunderbirds (1-3) fell to the No.8-ranked Wesmen 3-0 (28-26, 25-19, 25-14) in a Canada West conference match Saturday at the Duckworth Centre.
 
Nigel Nielsen had 18 kills and hit .577 as the Wesmen won their fourth straight match, all coming against ranked teams.

The Thunderbirds, who were also swept on Friday, were their most threatening in the first set as they took three-point leads at 11-8 and, later, at 22-19 as they looked to turn the tables and earn a weekend split.

The Wesmen, however, won three straight points to equalize at 22. UBC held a set point at 24-23 following a Liam Kristjanson serving error and again at 25-24 on an Isaiah Olfert service error. Winnipeg would close out the first set off a James Vincett serving error and Nielsen kill, and the T-Birds weren't able to muster much more of a threat the rest of the night.
 
Isaiah Olfert had 14 kills and a career-high and match-high 14 digs for the Wesmen.
