WolfPack volleyball looking for strength down the stretch
KAMLOOPS — With just four weekends remaining in the Canada West volleyball season, both the men’s and women’s volleyball teams are on the outside looking in at the Canada West playoff picture.
For men’s coach Pat Hennelly, the inconsistency he’s seen from his squad wasn’t what was expected in his first year back after a one season leave of absence to finish his Masters degree.
“It started out great in the pre season”, says Hennelly, “we had some good results and great practices, then the season hit, and I think the nerves took hold. We were in recovery since that moment — confidence and guys trying to find themselves, and obviously switching gears, it took me a little bit off guard.”
For women’s coach Chad Grimm, the 2017-18 season could be titled “life without Iuliia”, as the team struggled finding it’s identity at times after Iuliia Pakhomenko’s USports career ended last season.
