Pakhomenko to practice with national team
KAMLOOPS — The CIS and Canada West player of the year for women’s volleyball is getting a chance to train with Canada’s best.
Thompson Rivers University WolfPack outside hitter Iuliia Pakhomenko (Donetsk, Ukraine) will be spending the next few weeks training with Canada’s national senior women’s team. Pakhomenko and TRU teammate Alyssa Wolf (libero, South Surrey, BC) spent last week at the national team’s evaluation camp in Winnipeg, MB.
National team head coach Arnd Ludwig stated: “Iuliia made a very good impression to me and all the coaches from the first day she practiced. I was very impressed with her technical skills and her ball control. Technically she is for sure one of the top players at the camp.”
