The Brock men's volleyball team lost their OUA quarter-final match to the No. 7 Toronto Varsity Blues by a score of 3-1 (25-18, 25-18, 22-25, 31-29) at Goldring Centre on Saturday afternoon in Toronto.

It was the first playoff appearance for the Brock men in the OUA quarter-finals since the program was rebooted in 2016. Head coach Matt Ragogna said the experience did not disappoint.

"These guys are special because of everything on and away from the volleyball court," said Ragogna. "We checked a lot of boxes of success this season, but I know they wanted more."

Logan House scored 15 kills on 40 swings for a .300 kill percentage. House led the team with 11 digs followed by Ethan Kalef (nine) and Dean Globocki (eight).

Globocki also added eight kills while Nanle Yusuf contributed five.

After outhitting Toronto in the third set, the Badgers pushed the Blues in the fourth and final set by a score of 31-29.

"It was too bad we couldn't close out the fourth with a few set points," added Ragogna. 

Last year, the Badgers finished last in the OUA West and missed the playoffs. Ragogna was installed as the new head coach and the program posted its highest win total (seven) since the program was reinstated in 2016.

"This team spends so much time together and meshed so well this season," added Ragogna. "I couldn't have asked for better buy-in from the guys."
