Weekend Story
 
KAMLOOPS – The Thompson Rivers WolfPack women’s volleyball team will have their sights set on an upset this weekend when they kick off a four-game homestand inside the TCC.
 
The WolfPack (2-6) will face the Manitoba Bisons (6-2) at 5:30 p.m. on Friday and 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. The games will pitch the ‘Pack against a nationally-ranked opponent for the second time in three weeks when they tangle with the No. 8 Bisons.
 
It was a pair of losses against the No. 1 ranked and reigning national champion Thunderbirds in Vancouver for TRU last weekend. Despite scorelines of 3-0 and 3-0, a young WolfPack team hung tough with the T-Birds.
 
Manitoba, who are currently fifth in the conference standings, come into the weekend riding a four-game winning streak that included victories of 3-0 and 3-2 over the Mount Royal Cougars in Winnipeg last season.

The Bisons took both games these teams played in Winnipeg last season.
