Cok, Simone lead Warriors past Gaels for sixth straight win

Box Score It was a hitting parade for a pair of Warrior outside hitters as Aidan Simone (London) and Braden Cok (Waterloo) teamed up for 22 kills each to help Waterloo get past the Queen's Gaels 3-1 on Saturday night at the PAC. 
 
The win was Waterloo's sixth straight as the black and gold remain perfect in 2016.  Their record was boosted to 9-8 while Queen's fell to 12-5.

The Warriors were a bit stale to open the match as Queen's took advantage of nine errors by the home side to win the opening set 25-23.

The tight contest continued into the second set as the two combatants exchanged points all set long but the Warriors would sneak away with it by a score of 28-26 thanks to a setters dump by Gibson Graham (Markham) and a Simone (Aidan) kill to cap it off.

That second set win seemed to rally the troops as the Warriors came out firing in the third with 19 kills compared to just 11 for Queen's as Waterloo took it 25-21.  The same story continued in the fourth set with Simone leading the way with kills and digs all over the court.  He was a man possessed in the final set for the Warriors.  Waterloo would cruise to the finish line, capturing the fourth set 25-17 and match 3-1.

Erich Woolley (New Dundee) had himself a game in his final regular season home game at the PAC with 16 digs.  The fifth year libero certainly hopes his illustrious career has one more game in it at the PAC. 

Graham was also solid in the win with 51 assists while another senior playing his last regular season game in the PAC, Greg Simone (London) was big with eight kills. At the net, Jordan McConkey (Stratford) provided a wall, finishing with a game high six blocks.

For Queen's it was Marko Dakic leading his team in kills with 14 while Mike Tomlinson had 13 in a losing effort.

The Warriors will look to continue their roll next weekend as they battle the Nipissing Lakers and York Lions, both on the road.
