WolfPack Season Preview
Coaches Poll Rank: #2

Team Overview: It was a record-breaking season last year for a WolfPack squad that earned the program's first-ever berth to the U SPORTS National Championship tournament. On the road to earning that berth TRU finished the regular season with the best winning percentage in program history. They hosted, and won, the first playoff series in program history with a victory over the defending national champions and had libero Olivia Andulajevic win CW Libero of the Year and head coach Chad Grimm take home CW Coach of the Year honours.
With seven new faces in the mix and the core of that team back for another season, the 'Pack will be looking for an encore to an unforgettable campaign.

From the coach: "We return the core of our starting line up from last season so looking to build on what we were able to accomplish last season. We will need to pass and defend the ball at an elite level to efficiently score the ball from all positions in order to be successful this season." - Chad Grimm
