BRANDON, Man. – After a nail-biting five-set win on Friday, no such drama would be needed Saturday as the University of Calgary Dinos cruised to a 3-0 sweep of the Brandon Bobcats.

The Bobcats were beat in straight sets 25-16, 25-15, 25-7 in the second half of the weekend series at the HLC.

The Dinos improved from Friday's marathon win right from the start on Saturday, hitting .435 in the first to go with five aces.
 
The Bobcats improved on the team's .048 attack rate in the first to .148 in the second, but the Dinos hit .312.
 
The third was all Calgary, as the Dinos started the set on a 13-2 run before leading by as much as 22-4 before closing it out.
 
Sophie Reed led the Dinos in multiple categories, finishing the night with 10 kills, five aces and nine digs.
 
Sheridan Coninx had a team-high three blocks, while Stella Rains had a match-high 22 assists.
 
The Bobcats were led Keely Anderson's team-high nine kills.
 
Carly Thomson led the team in assists (15) and digs (seven).
 
Danielle Dardis had a match-high four blocks.
 
The win improves Calgary's record to 11-7, while the Bobcats are still searching for the first conference win of the season.
 
Both squads are on bye next weekend. The Bobcats return to action at home, welcoming the Saskatchewan Huskies the weekend of Feb. 3-4. Meanwhile, the Dinos return to the Jack Simpson Gym to host UBC Feb. 3-4.
