Feb 8, 2022 | 1:09 PM

KAMLOOPS — After the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack Men’s Volleyball team won all three matches they played last weekend, fifth-year setter Anton Napolitano was named the Canada West Player of the Week on Tuesday (Feb. 8th).

Napolitano racked up 20 kills, 51 assists, seven blocks, 33 digs and six service aces over the weekend, as the ‘Pack pillaged the host University of the Fraser Valley Cascades 3-0, 3-2, and 3-1 over a trio of matches.

The wins give TRU 10 points, equal to the UBC Thunderbirds in the West Division of Canada West Men’s Volleyball. The WolfPack will host the Cascades in a single match on Wednesday, Feb. 9th at the Tournament Capital Centre.

They’ll be in tough this weekend, as the undefeated Trinity Western University Spartans come to Kamloops for a pair of weekend matches at the TCC (Feb. 11th & 12th). The Men play Friday at 5:00 pm and Saturday at 2:00 pm.

The TRU Women’s Volleyball squad will take on the Spartans at 6:45 pm on Friday and 3:45 pm on Saturday.
