UBCO Heat sweep Rockies College of the Rockies offered little resistance to the defending national champs as the UBC Okanagan Heat stretched their record to a perfect 6-0 in BCCAA women’s volleyball. The Heat swept COTR in back-to-back matches over the weekend at the Kelowna campus gym. On Friday, Steve Manuel’s team rolled to a 3-0 win (25-15, 25-17, 2512). Alex Basso and BCCAA player of the week Kaylan Goldsborough led the UBCO attack, while setter Caitlyn Nyhus was named the Heat’s player of the match. On Saturday, more of the same as UBCO romped to another 3-0 victory (25-15, 25-17, 2512). Several big hits and strong blocks earned Emily Carroll was named player of the game honours as the Heat won by an average of 12 points per set.

driet (right) goes for the kill against College of the Rockies’ Brady Atwood in BCCAA volleyball action Saturday in Kelowna. The two-time B.C. and Canadian champs haven’t missed a beat through the first three weeks of the season—an encouraging sign for the coaching staff as the program prepares for the move to Canada West next season.
“We’re focusing on this year,” said Heat assistant Karl Enns, “but we know through our exhibition season what solid CIS teams look like. We know what we have to evolve to. We’re working on that, while still concen-
Following the women’s lead, the Heat men (5-1) were dominant in sweeping both matches from College of the Rockies. On Friday, the Heat won 25-19, 25-16, 25-19. Player of the game Mark Broome racked up a big kill count, with Preston Tucker spreading around the offense to the likes of Broome, Nate Speijer and Chris Howe. On Saturday, player of the game Greg Niemantsverdriet and Speijer paced UBCO to another 3-0 win (25-13, 25-9, 25-17). Now on a four-game winning streak, Heat head coach Greg Poitras said hard work in practice is paying off for his team. “We have to compete in practice,” said Poitras. “We’re not really worried about having any streaks, we just want to get better by the end of the year.” The Heat will head to Vancouver Island this weekend where they’ll battle Camosun Friday and the VIU Mariners Saturday in Nanaimo.
B.C. bronze for Owls The Kelowna Owls went in as the sixth-ranked team in B.C. They came out as the bronze medalists. KSS shutout Oak Bay 1-0 Friday in Victoria to claim third place at the B.C. high school girls AAA girls field hockey championship. Graduating forward Jonel Boileau scored the lone goal at the 16-minute mark of the second half. It was a triumphant end to a satisfying season for coach Arnar Bernhardsson and the Owls who had significant holes to fill after losing a number of key veterans from last year’s gold medalwinning team. “I look at this as being a very successful year,” he said. “We lost our whole midfield core from last season, and we had players step up and fill those big spots for us. Our whole defense was outstanding as well, their defensive play was second to none. “I’m extremely happy with how the girls played and I’m pleased with the bronze medal.” The defending provin-

cial champs posted a 5-1 record at the tournament, while outscoring their opponents 25-2. The only blemish on an otherwise stellar tourney was a 2-0 loss to West Vancouver in the semifinal Friday morning. “We came out flat and just couldn’t get anything going. I’m not sure why we played the way we did,” said Bernhardsson. Still, Bernhardsson gave his team full credit for its ability to regroup for the bronze medal game after a disappointing result in the semis. He said the Owls’ real
character shone through. “Playing for third is one of the most difficult things to do because both teams have come off emotional letdowns,” he said. “The hardest part is playing with the intensity you need to play in a bronze medal game, and the girls did that. It’s a true measure of what a rally good team’s all abovut. It was important to play well and finish as strong as they could. I’m proud of them.” The Owls will have the largest turnover of players in recent memory with 11 players graduating from the program. The KSS grads are: Breezy Beaudry, Ali Banwell, Kimiko Durrer, Didi Kahl, Sam Coyston, Meagan Price, Sarah Eppler, Tayler Sawchuk, Jonel Boileau, Suzanne de Lange and Lioba Junker. de Lange and Junker were exchange students from the Netherlands and Germany, respectively.
