Kamloops, BC – The UFV Cascades completed their weekend sweep of the TRU WolfPack with a straight sets victory (25-22, 25-17, 25-18) on Saturday. The win goes down as the Cascades ninth straight victory as they keep rolling this season.

As it happened:
The Cascades pulled away in the opening set to take an 18-14 lead, and despite a late charge from TRU the Cascades held on for the set win.

With the teams even at 18 in the second, UFV picked up the final six points, which included two aces by Cailin Bitter and three kills from Gabrielle Attieh, to take the set.

It was an 18-12 lead for the Cascades in the third set, and that would prove to be enough for the Cascades to close out the match with the 25-18 set win.

Top performers:
Gabrielle Attieh paced the UFV offence with 15 kills and a fantastic .462 hitting percentage. Cailin Bitter had a game-high four aces to go with her 20 set assists in the game.

Brooklyn Olfert led the TRU attack with 11 kills, while Kate Lamothe notched nine.

Quotable:
Cascades head coach Janelle Rozema

"There is really no limit to this group. Every time we play, we are playing better and better. We are still on a steady climb, so I'm really excited to see how we continue to build over the rest of the season."

"We have to stay hungry for always getting better. Although we are playing really well, I still feel that we haven't peaked."

Where they sit:
With the win, the Cascades improve to 13-5 and sit in a three-way tie for third in the conference.  

The Cascades women's volleyball team now has a chance to rest and recover with next week off, and their next action coming at home against the UBCO Heat on February 3 and 4.
