Box Score The No. 4 University of Toronto Varsity Blues women's volleyball team improve to 10-0 after a 3-0 (25-14, 25-8, 25-9) victory over the Waterloo Warriors on Friday night (Jan. 9) at Goldring Centre for High Performance Sport.

The match marked the Varsity Blues volleyball grand opening game at the new Goldring Centre.

 The new Ron Kimel Field House in the Goldring Centre for High Performance Sport is arguably the best court facility in the CIS. The 2,000-seat international standard field house for basketball and volleyball also features a high performance strength and conditioning centre overlooking Varsity Stadium and a state-of-the-art sport medicine clinic. 

Fifth-year veteran Jennifer Neilson led the Blues with eight kills, one block and four digs, while third-year left side hitter Caleigh Cruickshank notched seven kills, two blocks and seven digs. Bojana Radan and Charlotte Sider each had five kills, with Denise Wooding adding a game-high 15 digs on the night.

Madelyn Mandryk tallied 21 assists, two aces and four digs, with Erin Jacobs adding eight assists in the victory.

Toronto got out to an early 4-1 advantage in the first set but the Warriors rallied and kept the game close. Two kills from Sarah Chapin gave the Blues a 16-10 lead at the technical time out. U of T continued to roll with a 9-4 streak and a couple of final kills from Sider and Radan took it 25-14.   

The second set saw the Blues dominate from start to finish, leading 16-5 at the break. A Tessa Davis kill ended the frame 25-8 in favour of the home team.

Some long rallies started the third but a few points from Cruickshank and Chapin gave U of T a comfortable cushion as they led 16-5 at the timeout. Two late kills from Neilson and one from Radan sealed Toronto's eighth shut out victory with a 25-9 third set win.

Waterloo was led by Claire MacKenzie who had six kills and eight digs in the loss.

The Varsity Blues return to action tomorrow night as they host the Guelph Gryphons at Goldring Centre for High Performance Sport. Game time is set for 8 p.m.
