Cascades Check

Welcome to the Cascades Check — an update on the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades Athletics 

It’s award season for court sports, and multiple UFV Cascades squads have received recognition for their exploits throughout the 2022-23 Canada West season.

Starting off on the volleyball court, Gabrielle Attieh became the first Cascades volleyball player to win a major Canada West award, as she was named the Canada West Women’s Volleyball Player of the Year.

Multiple volleyball athletes were also named to conference All-Star teams, as Attieh earned Canada West First Team All-Star honours, while women’s volleyball teammate Natalie Lemoine-Sells was named to the Canada West All-Rookie Team for her stellar freshman season on the right side. On the men’s side, Nimo Benne earned a Canada West Second Team All-Star nod.

Moving on to the basketball court, Maddy Gobeil was named a Canada West First Team All-Star, moving up from a conference second team nod the previous season.

Meanwhile, the Cascades men’s and women’s golf teams are in full swing for their spring seasons. Both squads competed at the RMC Intercollegiate at the Reflection Bay Golf Club in Henderson, Nev. this past weekend with the women’s team capturing a fifth-place finish and the men’s team ending the event in seventh.

Individually, two Cascades picked up top-10 finishes in the tournament. Emery Bardock shot a final score of +18 in the three-round event to secure seventh place on the women’s side, and Jacob Armstrong’s final tally of +7 landed him in ninth place on the men’s leaderboard.

Up next, the Cascades men’s and women’s golf teams continue their spring schedule by taking part in the Warrior Invitational hosted by Winona State University in Henderson, Nev.
