Things were anything but certain after the UFV Cascades dropped a 3-0 decision on Valentine’s Day to the UBC Thunderbirds — a weekend series between the West Coast’s two premier teams that would determine the division’s top seed going into play-offs.
However, the UFV Women’s Volleyball Team (WVB) would respond the next day, and escape War Memorial gymnasium with a 3-2 victory on Feb. 15, leaving the rest of Canada West (CW) looking up at them in the standings, for the first time in program history.
The Cascades completed the regular season 17-3, ranking third in all of U Sports, and they haven’t lost any consecutive games during the entire season.
UFV is assured home court advantage for the duration of their play-off run after this weekend’s crucial split — and with a play-in round bye as top seed, the Cascades will face either the Trinity Western Spartans or the University of Saskatchewan Huskies on Friday, Feb. 28.
