Canadian women lose tough Volleyball Nations League match to unbeaten Japan
OTTAWA – Canada will be aiming to level their record at 2-2 when it plays Serbia on Sunday to cap off the first week of women's Volleyball Nations League action. Canada slipped to 1-2 with a 3-0 loss to Japan in a best-of-five match played Saturday in front of more than 5,100 spectators at the Arena at TD Place. Canada dropped the match to Japan 24-26, 20-25, 19-25. The unbeaten Japan squad led in attack points (39-33), serving (7-3) and made fewer errors 19-30). 'Japan is really tough to play against, and we were right there with them,' said Canadian setter Brie O'Reilly of Langley, B.C. 'We're just missing those after-20 (points) plays and finishing sets. 'We need to stay aggressive and take confidence that there was a lot of our game that was really great.' O'Reilly said the Canadians need to server more aggressively against Serbia and 'just keep our block defence systems working a bit more cohesively.' Kiera Van Ryk of Surrey, B.C., led the scoring for Canada with 13 points and also set a personal best with a serve clocked at 113 kilometres per hour. Yukiko Wada of Japan led her team with 20 points. Canada opened the VNL schedule with a win over Bulgaria and then lost a Thursday match to Netherlands.

Canada's Matthew Anderson enjoying taste of life on PGA Tour at RBC Canadian Open
CALEDON – Matthew Anderson could get used to this kind of treatment. The Mississauga, Ont., native, like all eight Canadians in the field at the RBC Canadian Open, was serenaded with the national anthem at just about every hole in Saturday's third round. Anderson, who plays on the Korn Ferry Tour and is playing on the weekend of a PGA Tour event for the first time ever, appreciated the gesture. 'Your adrenalin gets pumping but also, me and my caddie have a job to do,' said Anderson, standing outside the clubhouse at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley. 'We have to pace off the number, find our numbers, and decide what we're gonna do with the shot. 'You try and take it in a little bit, of course, right? Like, look around and wave and be grateful and appreciative. But, I mean, we're also trying to make a shot for the fans.' Anderson is the third-highest ranked Canadian on the Korn Ferry Tour, sitting 57th on the second-tier circuit's points list heading into play this week. However, he decided to skip the BMW Charity Pro-Am in Greer, S.C., to instead play in the Canadian Open, the national men's golf championship. That gamble has paid off as he was tied for 36th at 7-under overall after three rounds. 'We're obviously not done yet, but I've really proved myself by going out and being there and having a good round, and hitting good shots under pressure with people watching,' said Anderson. 'I know I belong here. 'Obviously, the Korn Ferry Tour is also a really competitive tour, right? I think good golf is good golf anywhere, but knowing I can play good golf over here is great to take back there.' Mackenzie Hughes of Dundas, Ont., fired a 6-under 64 to moved 13 spots up the leaderboard into a tie for sixth, two shots behind co-leaders Matteo Manassero of Italy and Ryan Fox of New Zealand. Adam Hadwin (65) of Abbotsford, B.C., Taylor Pendrith (67) of Richmond Hill, Ont., and Nick Taylor (69) of Abbotsford were tied for 16th at 10 under. Hadwin said after his round he's decided to lean into playing to the crowd at the Canadian Open, donning a Team Canada hockey jersey for his put on No. 14, the hockey-themed Rink hole. Hadwin said the stunt isn't without its challenges, however. 'The biggest one being that I am a very small framed individual, and I don't think they make hockey jerseys that small,' he joked. 'It's a little bulky, as you can see. I had to roll up the sleeves. I actually tucked them into my own sleeves so they wouldn't fall down. 'I certainly couldn't hit a golf shot in it, but making a putt is fine.' Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. Poking a little fun at himself and embracing the crowds is a new mental approach for Hadwin, who has usually been more reserved in the past. 'Just trying to walk around with a little bit more swagger, keep telling myself that I am that good, that I can do this, that I know how to hit this shot, and feed off the crowd a little bit,' said Hadwin. 'I had a lot of fun out there. 'Approaching greens and all that stuff, acknowledging them. Taking in that atmosphere on No. 14 around that tee box. That's so cool. It's so much fun as a Canadian to be up there.' Vancouver's Richard T. Lee (70) was tied for 25th at 9 under. Ben Silverman (65) of Thornhill, Ont., and Corey Conners (66) of Listowel, Ont., were tied for 29th at 8 under. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 7, 2025.
