Feb. 21, 2020 – Taking on the Briercrest Clippers, the Kodiaks were back in action on home turf in the first game of the final weekend leading up to the ACAC Championships.

Setting the tone for a closely matched set, the Kodiaks came out nearly point-for-point with the Clippers through the set. Trying to switch-up the momentum, the Clippers called a timeout down 19-17. The change of pace proved to be exactly what the Clippers needed to tie up the set 21-21, but the Kodiaks weren't ready to back down easily. The Kodiaks called a timeout down 25-24 , but were unable to turn it around and fell 26-24 to the Clippers.  Kodiaks Carter Hansen put up 6 kills while Nolan Moes trailed closely behind with 5 of his own. For the Clippers, Karym Coleman led the court with 4 kills and 4 digs.

Seeking a fast redemption, the Kodiaks came out hot in the second set, quickly stealing a 8-3 lead. Clippers Bryton Codd and Karym Coleman laid down some big kills to tighten the gap, but the Kodiaks maintained control of the set to claim a 25-22 win and tie up the match 1-1.

A quick start to the third set gave the Kodiaks a 6-2 lead with Michael Svabb laying down 3 kills and making a key dig. Mid-way through the set, Kodiaks Jeremiah Bohnert put in work both at the net and behind the service line, giving the Kodiaks the boost they needed to maintain their lead. With a series of huge blocks, the Kodiaks locked down a 25-18.

In a do-or-die set, the Clippers upped their intensity, but the Kodiaks were able to once again steal the early lead. Mid-way through the set the Clippers tightened the gap to within two, but were unable to surpass the Kodiaks who quickly regained their momentum with a series of huge kills from Bohnert and Hansen, forcing two Clippers timeouts. Unable to shift the momentum, the Clippers fell to the Kodiaks 25- 15.

With this win, the Kodiaks record advances to 19-4 while the Clippers fall to 14-9 in the season. The Kodiaks will take on the Clippers once more at home tomorrow at 3pm to close out the regular season. 

The Kodiaks will play host to the ACAC Championships in the Val Matteotti gymnasium running Feb. 27-29, 2020.
