Been a very encouraging first half, but lots of work to be done,” said head coach Sean McKay.
“Some highs and lows. Our team is playing pretty well. This is the most parity I’ve seen in Canada West women’s volleyball,” said head coach Mark Dodds. On the men’s team, there has been great balance, scoring and contributions from the veterans on the team and the rookies following suit. But their coach knows there is more to be had and wants to see what the team can be like when everyone is firing on all cylinders.
“If we are going to make a playoff run we need some big performances from big guys, but also consistency from everyone around. The most growth from everyone,” McKay said.McKay says fans should be paying attention to superstar Dylan Mortensen as he continues his climb up the all-time Canada West stats list. At the start of the second half of the season, he was sitting in seventh position.
