WVB Kodiaks (1-1) vs TKU Eagles (1-2)
Friday, Oct. 31 | 6 p.m. | Val Matteotti Gymnasium
WVB Kodiaks (1-1) vs NWP Wolves (2-1)
Saturday, Nov. 1 | 6 p.m. | Val Matteotti Gymnasium

The Kodiaks women’s volleyball team will look to pick up their first home win of the season as they take on two northern teams. Outside hitter Robyn Austin (second year, Business Administration, Lethbridge) has had a strong start to the season and currently leads the conference in points per set, averaging six. Her connection with setter Reese Hanusich (fourth year, General Arts and Science, Red Deer) will need to be in a good rhythm for the Kodiaks to succeed over the weekend.

MVB Kodiaks (1-0) at NWP Wolves (1-2)
Saturday, Nov. 1 | 6 p.m. | Val Matteotti Gymnasium

The Kodiaks men’s volleyball team will look to pick up where they left off two weeks ago. Ben Dyck (third year, Agricultural Sciences, Coaldale), who finished last year on a high note, is still riding it as he currently sits third overall in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) for hitting percentage with a .583 average. Across from Dyck is first-year highflyer Corny Bergen (Business Administration, Picture Butte) who had a powerful first showing in the Val Matteotti Gymnasium with seven kills, four digs and one ace.

Basketball:

WBB Kodiaks (0-2) at TKU Eagles (1-1)
Friday, Oct. 31 | 6 p.m.
WBB Kodiaks (0-2) at NWP Wolves (0-4)
Saturday, Nov. 1 | 6 p.m.

The Kodiaks women’s basketball team will try to get their first win of the season when they hit the road. The team will need to pick up Bailey Blackmore’s (second year, Bachelor of Nursing, Magrath) offensive presence as she is out with an injury. Summer Long (first year, General Arts and Science, Raymond), who leads the team in minutes played, will be a key factor in guiding the Kodiaks on the floor.

MBB Kodiaks (2-0) at NWP Wolves (1-3)
Saturday, Nov. 1 | 8 p.m.

The Kodiaks men’s basketball team hopes to keep their win streak alive on the road as they take on two North Division teams. They will continue to look to veteran leader Cole Lake (fifth year, Business Administration, Eagle, Idaho) who has been the quarterback in the Kodiaks offence and was named the ACAC Player of the Game against the St. Mary’s University Lightning. Marley Kenion (first year, Child and Youth Care, Coventry, England) has also made an impact in his first few games, leading the team in rebounds and ranking top three in points.
