The MUN Sea-Hawks dropped both games this weekend vs. UNB (Udantha Chandraratne).

The top team in Atlantic University Sports and seventh nationally ranked team the UNB Reds were at the Field House this weekend for two games against the Sea-Hawks.

Unfortunately for Memorial, it was not able to pick up a win this weekend, as the Reds won both games 3-0.

Friday nights game was relatively close, despite the score. The first set was very back in fourth, but ultimately going in UNB’s favour, 25-23.

In the second set, Memorial fell behind early, before it managed a comeback, and even led by as many as three points at certain moments throughout the set. UNB would still manage to pull through, winning a thriller 26-24.

UNB would win the third and final set handily at 25-13.

Saturday afternoon saw the same result, this time seeing UNB win all three sets in a dominant fashion.

Memorial’s record now falls to 8-8, and it moves back down to third in the AUS.

The Sea-Hawks will return to the Field House for the final time this regular season on February 6th and 7th against the Dalhousie Tigers.
