Nov 9, 2026 | 5:20 AM

VANCOUVER — The Thompson Rivers University (TRU) Wolfpack women’s volleyball team put the country on notice over the weekend. 

Entering play Friday (Nov. 6), the 4-0 WolfPack were ranked No. 7 in the U Sports rankings when they arrived in Vancouver. They left with a 6-0 record after beating the second-ranked University of British Columbia (UBC) Thunderbirds in two straight games. 

The WolfPack took the first game Friday in straight sets (25-22, 25-23 and 25-16). The following night, TRU completed its first sweep of UBC on the road in program history with a 3-1 win (25-14, 25-23, 19-25 and 25-17). 

“The whole weekend the team played solid,” said head coach Chad Grimm.

“Our block defence was good; we were really hard to score on. When we serve tough and are able to set up our block and defence we can be a tough team to play.” 

The WolfPack are first in the Canada West standings with a 6-0 record, and they’ve obly lost four sets across six games. 

TRU may shoot up the national rankings as well, having beat the No. 2 UBC Thunderbirds twice, while the No. 4 Trinity Western University Spartans lost twice to the top-ranked University of Alberta Pandas. 

The WolfPack play their first of two consecutive home games against the 2-4 MacEwan University Griffins this Friday (Nov. 13) at 7:15 p.m. from the Tournament Capital Centre.
