EDMONTON AB – The Concordia University of Edmonton (CUE) Thunder were looking to redeem themselves tonight against the visiting Lakeland Rustlers.

The Thunder broke away and went up by 1 in the 3rd set with a huge 25-22 win giving them a path to the finish line. The Rustlers came back with vengeance and took the 4th set 25-18 to push it to extra sets. The Rustlers took advantage of a missed serve and finished the game 15-13 and walked away with the W.

The Rustlers are currently sitting in the 4th place, with some distance between them and the 5th place Kings University, with a point differential of 10 points. The Thunder are battling for a playoff spot and need to win the next couple weeks to keep their hopes alive.
