The Wolves Women's Volleyball squad secured their first wins of the 2024-25 season with action-packed opening weekend matchups against the Lethbridge Polytechnic Kodiaks and the SAIT Trojans.
Third-year middle blocker Sierra LaValley played a pivotal role in leading the Wolves to two thrilling five-set victories and has been nominated the Rebelfit Nutrition Athlete of the Week. Her contributions were crucial both offensively and defensively, as she tallied an impressive 33 points over the weekend, consisting of 20 kills, 5 aces, and 8 stuff blocks. This remarkable display of skill significantly impacted the team's success.
Head coach Kelly McGuire commended Sierra's performance, stating, "Sierra made a tremendous impact this weekend offensively, defensively, and from the service line. We have emphasized taking advantage of our excellent middle attackers, and Sierra truly rose to the occasion. Her drive for improvement and positive attitude have been infectious with our young middle blockers, and I'm excited to see her continue to lead in the middle of the court."
Sierra's hard work and dedication have set a strong example for her teammates, and we look forward to seeing her continue to shine throughout the season.
