To end the 2021-22 Manitoba Colleges Athletic Conference (MCAC) women’s volleyball regular season, the first place Université de Saint-Boniface (USB) Les Rouges finished in style. First year libero Jenna Campbell continued her impressive rookie campaign and was recognized as MCAC Female Athlete of the Week for the week ending Feb. 27, 2022.
The Winnipeg native posted 13 digs with a 2.35 passer rating during a 3-1 home victory over second place Providence University College (PUC) Pilots on Sat., Feb. 26 in the last regular season game of this season.
With the weekend win, USB heads into the MCAC playoffs on a five game winning streak, finished number one in MCAC standings with a 14-2 record while at the number ten spot in the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) national ranking.
“Jenna is such a consistent defensive presence for our team. Her speed and determination allow her to make plays time and time again. She has worked hard to strengthen her serve receive game, and it has shown this season,” USB’s head coach Evan Turenne stated. “Having a strong libero like Jenna allows the team to have a consistent transition attack, which is critical to the team’s success. This past weekend, the team got a kill off of 60% of her digs, showing the quality of her control.”
The Social Work student-athlete at USB will have her first MCAC post-season experience as Les Rouges plays fourth seed and host Assiniboine Community College (ACC) Cougars on Saturday, March 5 at 12 p.m. CT in the semi-final matchup.
