CALGARY – Manitoba’s Katreena Bentley was named the Canada West Volleyball Female Player of the Week by the conference on Tuesday.
Bentley led her Bisons to a monster weekend that saw them push up the standings to sit among the top teams in the conference. Bentley was stellar on both sides of the ball, putting up an impressive 46 assists and 10 digs in Friday’s four-set win over the Alberta Pandas.
She also sailed in two service aces to help the Bisons take three consecutive sets after dropping the first to the Pandas.
Bentley led an even offence, showing her intelligence in the game while stretching her lead on the CW assist leaderboard.
On Saturday, she helped the Bisons distance themselves from the middle of the pack with a dominant 3-0 win over the Pandas. The second-year setter showed senior maturity, leading her team through tense moments to capture the sweep. Bentley bested her Friday performance with 12.3 kills per set. She also posted another two service aces, four digs and a kill.
She and the Bisons will be back in action Friday and Saturday as they travel to Saskatoon to take on the Saskatchewan Huskies at 6:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. CST respectively. You can catch the action exclusively on Canada West TV.
