History <\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

EDMONTON \u2014 Among two teams that finished just a game apart from each other last season, it was the Winnipeg Wesmen who set the tone Friday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brooke Duncalfe<\/a> had 16 kills and seven digs, and the Wesmen women’s volleyball team rolled over the MacEwan Griffins, winning 3-0 (25-20, 25-8, 28-26) in the teams’ Canada West conference opener.<\/p>\n

Duncalfe hit .314 and added a solo block as the Wesmen opened the season on a positive note as they look to make the post-season for the sixth time in seven seasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Transfer libero Ashley Lawrence<\/a> made her official Wesmen debut and had a match-high 10 digs.<\/p>\n

Right side Megan Kendziora<\/a> knocked down 12 kills on 17 swings with just two errors (.588) as part of a .333 Wesmen attacking percentage for the night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Winnipeg also added 13 total blocks to the box score in a road match that was relatively without roadblocks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Wesmen took an early advantage with a six-point run in the first set that broke a 6-6 tie. The Griffins were able to cut that lead down to 12-9, but Winnipeg tore off another stretch that gave it a 19-10 lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anna von Krosigk\u00a0led the Griffins (0-1) with 10 kills but MacEwan was only able to hit .135 for the night.<\/p>\n

The teams will meet again Saturday at 5:30 p.m. CT in a match that can be seen on Canada West TV.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Next Match: at MacEwan 10\/24\/2026 | 5:30 PM Canada West TV Oct.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":944146,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194296],"tags":[49,48,22073],"class_list":["post-944145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-winnipeg","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-winnipeg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/944145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=944145"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/944145\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/944146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=944145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=944145"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=944145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
