Lancers deliver knockout blow to Sabres
Volleyball semifinal more like a prize fight

The No. 2 Dakota Lancers and third-ranked Steinbach Regional Sabres traded shot for shot for much of Thursday’s varsity boys semifinal match in the Boston Pizza AAAA Provincial High School Volleyball Championships. Both teams spent a fair amount of time pinned against the ropes, but it was the Lancers that delivered the knockout blow in a marathon third set that left the Sabres dazed for the rest of the round.
“It was going to be an emotional letdown if you lose a game like that, especially one that goes to extra time, and you saw that in the fourth set. It would have turned the same way against us if we had lost that one,” Lancers coach Phil Hudson said after the game.
“You put so much effort and emotion into that third set and it’s very hard to come back and play well in the fourth. With Steinbach, we knew they were going to play well. It was a great match and I’m very proud with the way our guys handled it.”
After splitting the first two sets, the Lancers looked prime to take the third. Twice in extra time they had the chance to serve for the win, only for the Sabres to claw their way back. Steinbach was able to turn the tables for a spell, including a pair of chances to serve for the set, but just as the Lancers saw their lead quickly disappear so, too, did the Sabres.
“That’s usually the big set, is that one. You kind of get your momentum back and it certainly felt good to win that one,” said Lancers left-side Isaiah Olfert, the province’s top-ranked player. “It was good that we were able to bounce back after that set because we definitely could have broke down. It was a good lesson to learn now.”
Dakota eventually got the job done, earning a 31-29 decision, and would roll that momentum into the fourth and final set. The Lancers went ahead early, going on a 10-2 run to take a 16-4 lead. Steinbach made a small push but the Lancers rolled to a convincing 25-14 to wrap up the series.
“We knew it would be a battle. When we were done, coach Hudson came up to us and said, ‘Wow, were your boys ready to play,’” Sabres coach Greg Loeppky said. “We win that third one and it’s anybody’s game.”
SELKIRK UPSETS NO. 1 ST. PAUL’S
They had yet to beat the province’s top-ranked team all season, but the Selkirk Royals finally did it when it mattered most, defeating the top-seeded St. Paul’s Crusaders 3-1 (18-25, 25-21, 28-26, 25-22) to clinch a berth into the provincial final.
The No. 4 Royals, whose varsity girls team is also in Monday’s final against the College Jeanne-Sauve Olympiens (6 p.m.), are now just one win away from claiming a third straight provincial championship — a feat that hasn’t been achieved since Miles Macdonell won four straight (1975-1978).
“We’ve been together now I’d say five years — as a club team and as a school team. We won last year with the older group and we won the year before in our junior varsity year,” said Grade 12 Royals middle Liam Allen. “Over the years we’ve amounted such a chemistry that we never give up a match. We always try to come back, even if we’re down 24-0.”
The Royals certainly didn’t make it easy on themselves. They trailed in all four sets, including down 8-2 in the third set, which they rallied back to win in extra time, 28-26. In the fourth set, they fell behind immediately, trailing 6-1, but again clawed back to tie it 18-18 and eventually sealed the win with a 25-22 triumph.
“We never played to our potential throughout the season but we knew we had it in us. We knew if we could get a game going we’d be able to do it. It was pretty rough going early on but the guys stuck to it and I’m really proud of the guys,” Royals coach Jeff Scarcello said. “Dakota is very similar to St. Paul’s in that they’re not just one guy. I’m expecting the same kind of battle, where it’s going to be a hard-fought game and whoever wins that match is really going to earn it.”
