“Well, a tougher match tonight. Brock was much more effective on offense. That challenged us in a very aggressive fashion. We worked hard at trying to handle their right side attacker, and she lit us up but our answer was to spread our offense and counteract their strengths. Meghan Routier (20 Points) was lights out, Leah (13 points) and Ciara passed amazing and Rheanna (18 Points) was on fire in her offense and serving. All that gave us balance. Our Seniors gave us everything, we will miss Leah, Jen and Christie! Jessica and Rheanna showed they are strengths for us into next season. Our depth is solid, the growth is obvious and we look forward to getting back in the gym in a week to work for next season. A HUGE thank you to our fans!! Dedicated and proud!” – Coach Chris Green

The Thunderwolves honoured their seniors tonight who have put so much hard work and dedication into the women’s volleyball program. This concludes the Thunderwolves 2017/18 volleyball season.
