The Western Mustangs women's volleyball team will be looking for a win on Friday as they hit the road to face the Windsor Lancers in their fourth game of the season.
The Mustangs enter the matchup with a 0-3 regular season record and will be looking for their first win of the regular season as they head into Friday's game. Despite the losses, the Mustangs have played well so far this season against some tough teams, including a close 3-1 loss to the OUA West top-ranked Waterloo Warriors, proving that they can compete with the top teams in the western conference.
Fourth-year outside hitter Stephanie Kreuter, who holds a spot in the OUA's top 20 players this season with 27 kills and 3.17 points per set, will be hoping to use her talent and experience to lead the young Western team to their first victory of the season.
