Volleyball:

GPRC volleyball teams are home to Kings University on Friday and Saturday, as they close out their regular-season schedules.

This weekend is huge for the women’s team. After they were swept last weekend against the NAIT Ooks the Wolves find themselves two points behind NAIT for the fourth and final playoff spot.

The Wolves need help from NAIT, but they also need to show up against a Kings team that’s also eyeing that final playoff spot. Kings is tied with the Wolves in the standings with 14 points.

The ball is in NAIT’s court, as they open up their weekend series against last-place Concordia University, who haven’t won in 14 straight games. A weekend sweep will clinch the playoff spot for them.
