Chargers women return to national rankings
The Camosun College Chargers women’s volleyball team has returned to the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association national rankings for the first time since 2003, placing 13th overall in Canada. Head coach Chris Dahl said in a recent press release that he hopes it provides a better picture of how the team is performing overall. “Being in the national rankings says two things,” he said in the press release. “First, it’s a coach’s poll and we are recognized by our peers. Second, it says a lot about the caliber of play in the PacWest.”
Camosun student awarded
Camosun College Chargers men’s volleyball team captain Garret Marcellus was recently named the PacWest Men’s volleyball athlete of the week for the week following the Chargers’ men’s two wins over the Capilano University Blues on October 28–29.
