ANCASTER, ON – The Redeemer Royals men's volleyball team opened up their season at home against the Sheridan Bruins on Saturday afternoon.
The Royals got out to a hot start, taking a commanding 8-2 lead in the opening set. The Bruins battled back to make it somewhat interesting, but overall the Royals would take it 25-19.
Jeramiah Zomerman and Jack Demik left their marks on this set. Zomerman was dynamite on the opposite side, registering multiple kills. And Demik blocked multiple dangerous Bruins attacks to keep the Royals in front.
The second set saw a very desperate Bruins squad get out to an early lead. It was essentially the inverse of how the first set opened, and the Bruins had a lead as large as six before the Royals began storming back. They tied the game at 13, and the teams basically went one-for-one until the Royals took control to win the second set, 25-20.
The third set was pure domination from Redeemer. Having a lead as large as 11, controlled much of the set. They ended up winning 25-16, securing the 3-0 sweep. Alan Greydanus came in and earned three kills in the back half of the third set to secure the win for the Royals.
Redeemer will hit the road to take on the Humber Hawks on October 29, in what should be a very good test for this Royals squad.
