EDMONTON — A winning start to the weekend for the TRU WolfPack volleyball teams in the Alberta capital.

The WolfPack women began their Canada West season with a 3-0 (25-21, 25-9, 25-23) win over the MacEwan Griffins.

Hail Ward, from Kamloops, and Keira Gent paced the WolfPack offence with 13 kills apiece while Ward also added two service aces and five blocks in the game. Myah Cressy added six blocks for TRU while Libby Meldrum chipped in with 38 assists.
