It was a tough season on the court for the women’s volleyball squad. The team finished<br />
seventh in the eight-team ACAA with a 3-18 record, three wins behind the sixth-place<br />
Kings Blue Devils. However, team MVP Thea McLachlin racked up 201 kills for second in<br />
the conference and was top in the kills per set rankings at 2.79. The third-year left side<br />
from Red Deer, AB, was also second in the conference in points with 252.5, first in points<br />
per set (3.5) and was named to the ACAA’s all-star lineup. Libero Kayla Wolfe was second<br />
in the conference in digs with 285 and digs per set (3.96) while McLachlin was fourth in<br />
digs with 260 and third in digs per set (3.61).<br />
