VIU’s volleyball teams are playing winning volleyball with one week to go in the PacWest season.
Vancouver Island University’s men’s and women’s v-ball teams hosted the Capilano Blues on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 9-10, in Pacific Western Athletic Association action at the VIU gym.
The Mariners men were able to snap a slide with two solid wins against the Blues, 3-1 (25-20, 25-17, 21-25, 25-18) in the first match and then 3-0 (25-21,25-17, 25-22) in the rematch. VIU’s men (12-6) are heading to provincials regardless, but “would rather head in on a winning streak,” noted a press release.
