Both the senior boys and senior girls MUCC Comets volleyball teams were in Prince Albert this weekend with the boys at St. Marys and the girls at Prince Albert Carlton. They played very well, we are getting some of the kinks out and progressing well on the team game, senior girls Comets coach Rob Moore said. The Comets placed fifth in round robin play and met TMSS in the playoff on Saturday afternoon losing 28-30, 23-25. They opened by losing 16-25, 18-25 to the host Prince Albert Carlton on Friday night. In their second round robin game the Comets lost 18-25, 25-27 to Meadow Lake. On Saturday the Comets opened losing 23-25, 21-25 to Prince Albert St. Marys, they next defeated Naicam 25-21, 25-17.In their next round robin game the Comets defeated La Loche 25-22, 25-21. They split their final round robin game 26-24, 17-25 with their playoff opponent TMSS. The senior boys Comets placed second in their pool in the initial round robin, losing to Carlton and defeating St. Josephs and Muenster. They were placed in the A side after a re-pooling and finished in a three-way tie for second. After defeating Waldheim in a tiebreaker they advanced the semifinal and again lost to Prince Albert Carlton. The Comets finished fourth after losing the bronze game. Advancing to the bronze game was a success for the Comets, who were in their first tournament of the year Compared to last year, we only have one player returning to the same position, therefore this was a good weekend for us to feel some things out, and learn a bit about our strengths and weaknesses, senior boys Comets coach Graham Calow said. The senior boys play at the University of Saskatchewan Tournament beginning September 19, while the senior girls are at Prince Albert St. Marys.
