Weekend Story
KAMLOOPS – Back in action for the first time in over a month, the Thompson Rivers WolfPack women’s volleyball team will kick off 2023 at home inside the TCC.
Playing host to the Regina Cougars at 5:30 p.m. on Friday and 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, TRU will be looking to come out of the gates hot and make an early statement in their fight for a playoff spot.
In their last action before the break TRU lost a pair of close games to the Calgary Dinos. The WolfPack pushed Calgary to the limit on Saturday in a 3-2 loss in which Abby Spratt racked up 41 assists, her second highest single-game mark this season.
Sitting with a mark of 5-7, TRU finds themselves tied for tenth in the conference but are just two games behind sixth-place. With just eight teams making the postseason the race promises to be a tight one throughout the second half of the season.
Regina (0-12) will be looking for their first win of the season. The Cougars have come close on multiple occasions including a narrow 3-2 loss against their provincial rivals the Saskatchewan Huskies back on November 18.
By The Numbers
24: Abby Spratt sits second in the conference with 24 service aces so far this year.
4.25: Ema Palkovicova has the fourth-best numbers in the conference with 4.25 points-per-set.
6-4: TRU has won six of the last ten meetings between the teams.
