Ranked 11th in the Canada West pre-season coaches poll, the University of Saskatchewan Huskies women's volleyball team is aiming to end a two-year playoff drought.
WATCH: Missing Canada West playoffs in back-to-back seasons, the University of Saskatchewan Huskies women's volleyball team is hoping a youthful spark will result in a longer run this year.season, they’ve been ranked 11th overall in the conference’s pre-season coaches poll after a less-than-stellar exhibition season and an 8-16 record last year.
The Huskies’ roster saw plenty of turnover in the off-season with key pieces like Olivia Mattern, Jolene Sibley and Devyn Ethier moving on from the program, as well as rising star Sophia Magus transferring to join the rival University of Alberta Pandas.That’s forced the team to rely on a crop of first- and second-year players to help carry the load.“I’ve been training with some of them for quite a while now with our old club teams,” said third-year outside hitter Rosie Cyr.
“It’s ,” said fourth-year outside hitter Keely Anderson. “It’s a tough league. It’s knowing that we have the abilities and strengths to do that, trusting, believing in it and just performing to the best of our abilities each night.”Dodds will be leaning on veterans like Anderson and Cyr to provide offence this season, with the knowledge that a much more cohesive effort will be needed throughout the 2024-25 season to slot into the conference’s top-eight teams by late February.
