The win was the men’s volleyball team’s first of the PACWEST regular season as they defeated CBC, in four sets, by scores of 25-22, 25-21, 16-25 and 25-21. Their record now stands at 1-1 after the first week of play. “This weekend was a great start for our squad. Friday night could have been a win as well, with a break in the third set. Many different players are contributing to our success, which is ideal,” said UFV head coach Greg Russell.

The women’s volleyball team improve their PACWEST regular season record to 2-0, with a 3-0 victory over the CBC Bearcats tonight at the Envision Athletic Centre. The set scores were 25-21, 25-19 and 25-11.
UFV was led by Mallory Donen, a fourth year Libero from White Rock, BC. “Mallory had a real fine game quarterbacking the back row. From the sideline it appeared she was one step ahead of CBC’s attack all night,” said UFV head coach Dennis Bokenfohr.
“It was a great start to the year with another solid performance.”
