Weekend Story
 
KAMLOOPS – The Thompson Rivers WolfPack men’s volleyball team is finally back in the TCC this weekend after adding yet another marquee road victory to their tally last time out.
 
The WolfPack (4-4) will face the Manitoba Bisons (4-4) at 7:15 p.m. on Friday and 4:45 p.m. on Saturday. The games will mark the start of a four-game homestand to finish the first semester schedule for a WolfPack squad that has scored road wins over the nationally ranked Alberta Golden Bears and Saskatchewan Huskies as well as the perennial power UBC Thunderbirds so far this season.
 
TRU split a pair of games down in Vancouver last weekend, falling 3-1 to UBC on Friday before dumping the T-Birds by that same score on Saturday.
 
Manitoba also recorded a split last weekend, earning one win at home against the MRU Cougars.

The teams went 1-1 against each other last season in CW play as they split a pair of games in Winnipeg.
