The
women’s basketball team had a big weekend, starting on Friday night by
defeating the eighth place Douglas College Royals in a decisive 75-36 victory.
The win came after a lot of hard work throughout the game, and some outstanding
play by second-year guard, Jessica Daigneault, and fifth-year forward Jenna Ralston.
Jenna currently leads the league in points with 233 overall, averaging 19.43
per game. First-year forward Hayley Boulier went down with an ankle injury with
2 minutes to go in the fourth quarter, but was able to shake it off and make it
to the bench. On Saturday night the women picked up another win, this time over
the last place CBC Bearcats by a huge differential of 95-28.
The
men’s basketball team also had a successful weekend, starting on Friday night
when they picked up two points against The Royals, pushing them out of a contending
spot for the playoffs with a 79-73 win. This game was set to have a great point
guard match up with The Blues second-year guard, James Lum, going up against
The Royals, Harmeet Mahal. Lum played a concise and calculated game, reading
gaps, finding his teammates, and putting up some good numbers. Fourth-year
forward, Micheal Zayonc, played great, getting nearly every rebound that came
his way. Second year guard Cam Yates played with a level of calm that seemed to
slow down the game around him, and he sank some crucial three pointers, as well
as several well-earned assists. On Saturday night the blues picked up their
other two points when they put away the last place Bearcats by a score of
82-72.
The
women’s volleyball team won both of their games this weekend, beating the last

Third-year L/DS, Jacqueline Caverly is still leading the league in digs with
4.59 a game. Fifth-year OH, Michelle Torresan is one of the league leaders in
total offensive points. First-year M/RS, Ashley van Acken is second in the
league for blocks, with 70 overall.
The
men’s volleyball team lost their first game of the weekend, giving up three
straight sets to the Avalanche on Friday night (21-25, 21-25, 19-25) but
winning in three straight on Saturday (25-19, 25-22, 25-21). Third year Set/RS,
Dan Caverly is sitting in second place in the league for digs, averaging 3.32 a
game. Fourth-year LS/LIB, Matias Brizuela is one of the leagues top offensive players
(sixth overall), Matias is fourth in Kills (3.22 per game) and eleventh in Aces
(14 overall).
Both
the women's and the men's volleyball teams will be heading to the gym at

2012 Pacwest Provincial Volleyball Championships.
