Team Canada dropped their doubleheader against Australia and won’t be making the playoffs in the FIVB World League.
The Canadians fell in five sets and four sets over the weekend to finish with a record of 6-6.
Rivers’ product Toon Van Lankvelt had five kills and two blocks in Saturday’s match, and had eight kills and a service ace on Sunday for Canada.
Dustin Schneider of Brandon did not travel with the men’s volleyball team, as he’s resting up for the world championships later this summer in Poland.
Former Brandon Bobcats’ star Paul Sanderson started both matches for the Aussies, with the former CIS men’s volleyball player of the year finishing Saturday’s match with 12 kills and four aces, while adding eight kills on Sunday.
