College of the Rockies Avalanche volleyball teams are preparing to not only compete, but host, the 2019 PACWEST Volleyball Championship February 21 to 23.
The PACWEST Volleyball Championship sees the top six men’s and women’s teams vying for the provincial title. The Avalanche men’s team clinched fifth spot while the women’s team earned their sixth spot position this past weekend.
“We’re excited to host the PACWEST Championship this year and have both of our teams competing on home turf,” said Cori Andrichuk, Manager, Student Life and Athletics. “We welcome the other teams from across B.C. to Cranbrook and wish all the athletes, coaches, and team delegates a great stay and an unforgettable experience.”
Teams will be facing-off for an opportunity to advance to the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) National Championship, being held at Niagara College in Ontario (women) and at Red Deer College in Alberta (men) from March 7 to 9. The Avalanche last hosted the PACWEST Volleyball Championships in 2013.
Advance tickets for the PACWEST Championships are available at the College’s gym office or by calling 250-489-2751 and choosing extension 3556 or 3572.
