CALGARY, ALTA. – Mount Royal’s Madison Marshall was named the Canada West Women’s Volleyball Player of the Week by the conference on Tuesday.
Marshall was on a mission of her own to push Mount Royal back up the standings after a less-than-ideal start to the season. Taking on the Manitoba Bisons, who also went into the weekend at 6-4, Marshall seemed determined to prove her team’s place in the upper echelon of Canada West.
The outside hitter showed off her power and volleyball IQ throughout the weekend’s matches, helping her team both offensively and defensively. The fifth-year consistently delivered in the big moments and when her team needed a boost.
Marshall slammed down 16 kills along with four service aces Friday evening, while working defensively to post 12 digs. The all-around effort sent a loud message to the visiting Bisons as the Cougars took the match 3-1.
Marshall continued to shine Saturday with another 15 kills and nine digs as the Cougars duplicated their success.
Her efforts helped the Cougars improve to 8-4 on the season as they take possession of fifth heading into the winter break.
The Cougars will be back in action on Jan. 6 & 7 as they travel to Winnipeg to take on the Wesmen at 6:00 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. CST respectively. You can catch the action exclusively on Canada West TV.
