LONDON, Ont. – The Western Mustangs completed their fourth consecutive sweep in a 3-0 win over the Lakehead Thunderwolves Sunday afternoon at Alumni Hall.

Set scores were 25-18, 25-16 and 25-16.

From the very first set, Western took a commanding lead and would not allow Lakehead to catch up.  Maria Krahn (Winnipeg, Man.) had 8 kills and setter Jenna Thompson had 13 assists.

In the second set, Western once again took the lead with powerhouse middle Kelly Frittenberg (Caledon, Ont.) putting up four kills. Midway through the set, Lakehead went on a run, but it wasn’t enough. Western took the second set 25-16. Christie-Lee Wilson (London, Ont.) was able to add five kills to Frittenberg’s four. Western had 35 total attacks in the second set.

The third set was much like the first two and Western was able to capitalize on Lakehead’s frustrations. The Mustangs wrapped up the final set 25-16. Elaine Screaton (Calgary, Alta.) contributed three kills and Western had a total of 34 attacks. 

The Mustangs improve to 12-3 on the season.
