Amanda Matsui had an outstanding weekend on behalf of the UFV women's volleyball team, leading the Cascades to a weekend split against the Camosun Chargers in a clash of nationally ranked teams.

Her production earned her the PACWEST women's volleyball athlete of the week award.

The sophomore left side from Port Coquitlam, B.C. was a dominant force on Friday, racking up 20 kills on 36 per cent efficiency along with 15 digs, but the Chargers were able to rally for a five-set win. On Saturday, the Cascades gained a measure of revenge in emphatic fashion, winning in three straight sets. Matsui posted a team-high nine kills and 11 digs as the UFV squad improved to 9-5 in PACWEST play.

The Cascades volleyball teams are back in action at home this weekend, hosting the College of the Rockies Avalanche on Saturday (women 5 p.m., men 7 p.m.) and Sunday (women 11 a.m., men 1 p.m.) at the Envision Financial Athletic Centre.

Also announced on Tuesday, the UFV women's volleyballers maintained a spot in the latest edition of the CCAA national rankings. The Cascades dropped one spot, from No. 8 to No. 9, after splitting with No. 12-ranked Camosun at home.
