The victory follows a convincing 86-59 win over UPEI, an 81-52 pounding of St. FX, and a 79-55 spanking of Acadia. The Wesmen end their pre-season schedule with a perfect 10-0 record.

Headline: WESMEN SPLIT WITH CLAN
Last Week:

The Wesmen’s 3-0 straight set win on Saturday night salvaged their Canada West weekend series with Simon Fraser University. A tight Winnipeg team fell in five sets on Friday night and Wesmen coach Diane Scott was not pleased with her No. 5 ranked squad, as poor defensive play buoyed an energetic SFU side who had yet to taste victory in Canada West play. On Saturday the much more focussed Wesmen took control early and overwhelmed the Clan en route to the match win.
“We played a better first set, played our positions and minimized unforced errors,” said Scott. Middle hitter Andrea Charbonneau propelled the Wesmen attack with 40 kills over the two matches.
This Week:
The Wesmen take their 3-1 record into Edmonton for a Canada West weekend battle with the No. 3 ranked University of Alberta Pandas.

Winnipeg’s backcourt again led the way for the Wesmen with Aldin Smalling scoring a tournament high 36 points and Erfan Nasajpour chipping in 22. Smalling picked up an All-star selection after averaging 27.5 points during the weekend action.
