Game Recap: Women's Volleyball | | TRU WolfPack

WolfPack can’t hold off Huskies in home-opening defeat

QUICK FIRE
  • The Thompson Rivers WolfPack women's volleyball team suffered their first defeat of the 2025-26 season in a 3-1 (25-17, 18-25, 25-19, 25-17) loss at the hands of the Saskatchewan Huskies inside the TCC Friday night.
 
DIFFERENCE MAKERS
  • Rida Erlalelitepe paced the 'Pack attack with 13 kills and a pair of aces in the game. Kamloops product Hail Ward added 12 kills and Lauren Junck eight. Libby Meldrum recorded 35 assists and 14 digs.
  • Taryn Hannah powered the Huskies with 18 kills while both Keely Anderson and Rosetta Cyr added 11.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • An efficient Saskatchewan offence powered the Huskies to victory in the first. The visitors hit .361 per cent as a team and received seven kills from Hannah en route to the 25-17 set victory. Junck keyed the 'Pack attack with three kills on just five attacks.
  • The WolfPack repaid the favour in the second set, dominating the frame 25-18. Ward stepped up big for TRU with seven kills while Erlalelitepe sent in a pair of aces.
  • While the WolfPack threatened in sets three and four the comeback wasn't meant to be as the Huskies rode a solid defensive effort and efficient hitting to back-to-back wins of 25-19 and 25-17.

NOTABLE
  • The loss was the first of the year for a WolfPack team that is now 2-1 on the season.
  • Junck's eight kills were a new career-high with the WolfPack for the transfer from Red Deer Polytechnic.
  • The WolfPack won the battle at the net, racking up 20 blocks to MacEwan's 13.
 
UP NEXT
  • These same two teams will be back in action tomorrow afternoon inside the TCC in a game scheduled to begin at 3:00 p.m.
