In this the home opener for 2019-2020, it was the debut of rookie Amber Francis and the 6- foot middle from Keswick, Ontario did not disappoint as the Huskies swept the visitors 25-12, 25-20 and 25-18.
Francis had a run of about seven straight serves in the first set to give the nearly 300 fans in attendance a lot to cheer for as the home side went up 25-12.
Down 10-4 in the second set, the Thunder call timeout.
Huskies are hustling as three players hit the court in an attempt to pancake up the ball.
There were a few outstanding saves by Huskies libero Raisa Stokes (2nd year, Education, Fort McMurray Alberta).
Down 7-11 in set three, Huskies coach Kira Sutcliffe calls timeout for the team to regroup.
A Kally L'Heureux (4th year, Nursing, Bonneyville Alberta) kill gives the Huskies a 14-13 lead...a lead they will not surrender.
