OLDS, Alta. - The Ambrose University Lions dug deep when it mattered most, defeating a game Olds College Broncos side in four sets at the Ralph Klein Centre on Saturday and completing a weekend sweep.

The Lions jumped out to an early 6-0 lead in the opening set, establishing momentum quickly and seeing it through for a 25-15 victory to take the one-set lead.

Though certainly closer in nature, the second set also went the way of the Lions as they took it 25-20.

The Broncos fought back in the third, turning in a strong performance before a boisterous home crowd to cut the deficit to one set after a convincing 25-17 victory.

Zaleschuk was named player of the game for the Broncos, while Lewington took the honour for the Lions.
