The Lancers are making their very first appearance in program history at the 2018 U SPORTS Men’s Volleyball Championship.
Windsor claimed the OUA bronze medal by defeating the Ryerson Rams to qualify for the tournament.
Following two challenging seasons, the Lancers bounced back in 2017-18, finishing with a 10-7 record to place third overall in the OUA west division.
The Blue and Gold upset the York Lions in the conference quarter-finals to advance to the final four for the second time in four years, and only the fourth time in program history.
The OUA all-star trio of John Moate, Pierce Johnson and Brad Gyemi will boast a big offensive threat, having finished amongst the league leaders in multiple categories.
An OUA first team all-star, Moate finished the year fourth in the nation in blocks per set, averaging 1.26.
Johnson, a 2017 all-rookie team member, was also a first-team all-star finishing third in the OUA in total kills with 228, while Gyemi made his second straight appearance as a second-team all-star, finishing the year with 205 total kills, to place him fifth in the OUA.
