Game Recap: Women's Volleyball | | TRU WolfPack

WolfPack start road trip with win over Regina

QUICK FIRE
  • The Thompson Rivers WolfPack women's volleyball team took care of business Friday night, starting their road weekend in Regina with a 3-1 (25-18, 25-20, 25-14) victory over the Regina Cougars.
DIFFERENCE MAKERS
  • Keira Gent, Hail Ward, Rida Erlalelitepe and Maria Dancheva were all strong in attack for the 'Pack. Gent hit .308 per cent with 12 kills, Erlalelitepe added 12 of her own while also recording a pair of solo and three block assists. Ward recorded 11 kills on a .381 hitting percentage while Dancheva added 10 on just 16 swings to go along with two solo and two block assists.
  • Jordy McEachern and Anna Schultz led the way for Regina with 12 and 11 kills respectively. 
     
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • After falling into an early hole, the WolfPack rebounded to take the first set. Trailing 10-5, a kill from Erlalelitepe along with both a block and kill from Faith Christensen sent the WolfPack on a quick 6-0 run to give them the lead. From there the 'Pack were able to take the set with ease as Ward, Erlalelitepe and even setter Libby Meldrum recorded kills down the stretch to allow TRU to take it 25-18.
  • TRU blew open what was a tight second set late. Tied up at 18-18, TRU scored seven of the next nine points with a block from Gent and Christensen putting an exclamation mark on the 25-20 set victory.
  • While Regina bounced back to take the third, TRU ended the night in the fourth. A 7-0 WolfPack run with Christensen at the service line gave the WolfPack a 13-4 lead that they wouldn't surrender en route to the commanding 25-14 win.

NOTABLE
  • The result moves TRU to 5-2 on the season where they sit third in the conference.
  • The WolfPack had six players (Gent, Erlalelitepe, Ward, Dancheva and Christensen) hit over .300 per cent in the match.
  • Libby Meldrum, who sits third in the nation in assists-per-set added another 40 to her total tonight.
 
UP NEXT
  • The WolfPack will take on the Cougars again tomorrow evening in a game that gets underway at 4:00 p.m. PT in Regina.
