Liam Brown of the Princes Margaret Mustangs battles a George Elliot Coyote for ball control during Wednesdays senior boys volleyball match between the Penticton and Lake Country rivals.

The Princess Margaret Mustangs senior boys volleyball team lost to No. 3 ranked George Elliot Coyotes in four sets.

ā€œThey have a very strong hitter who dominates from both the front and back row and an excellent setter that can get the ball to him,ā€ said Mustangs coach Rich Corrie. ā€œWe were able to stop them a number of times, but in the end when they needed a kill, he was able to produce.ā€

An inability to generate offence off the Coyotes attacks was the difference in the end, said Corrie.

ā€œJivraj Grewal and Nick Lozinsk provided a great defensive effort,ā€ he added. ā€œTodd Corrie passed and defended well and Reece Haberstock did a good job of distributing the ball to his array of hitters. Max Smeltzer and Liam Brown put up some big blocks.ā€

With more tournament play Corrie hopes his team will be able to diversfy its attack and keep teams off balance.
