Jan. 30, 2020 - The Lethbridge College Kodiaks hosted the Ambrose Lions at the Val Matteotti gym on Thursday evening during their Make Some Noise initiative. The Kodiaks hosted a pep rally earlier that day to open up the dialogue surrounding mental illnesses, as well as to spread awareness about their MSN night.

 

As the game got underway, both teams demonstrated great feats of athleticism. The energy was high for both the Lions and Kodiaks which set an early tone for the rest of the match. Zach Wikenheiser of Lethbridge appeared to be all over the court as he pressed for his team to stay dialed in with him. With this focus, the Kodiaks took their first with a score of 25-20. 

 

The Lions collected themselves after a tight first set to bring the heat in the second. They opened up the match with three points right off the bat. As the game moved on, the Kodiaks started to find their rhythm. They eventually took the lead with a score of 20-15 which forced Lions coach, Paul Armbruster to call a timeout. Carter Hansen of Lethbridge used this time out to his advantage as he seemed to power up for a kill that rebounded off three Lions. The Kodiaks would take the second set with a score of 25-21.

 

The Kodiaks kept their composure after a rewarding a second set. They managed to take a three point lead. Ambrose found some momentum with two big kills by Josh Nickel. Eventually, the Lions found themselves developing the game their way. With this shift in the third set, Kodiaks head coach Greg Gibos called a timeout in an attempt to direct his squad. Lethbridge listened to their coach, earning a three set sweep.
