The Manitoba Colleges Athletic Conference volleyball season will open with a rematch of the 2026 women’s final. The defending champion Assiniboine College Cougars host the Canadian Mennonite University Blazers on Oct. 16 in Brandon.
The Providence University College Pilots knew they had to win two matches in one day and did just that. After dropping the first match of the men’s volleyball final to the Canadian Mennonite University Blazers, they came back to win the second one, then sweep the best-of-three third match 2-0 on home court on Sunday.
Even though everyone knew Cole Doell was a key part of the Providence University College Pilots' offence, he was the most efficient attacker in MCAC men’s volleyball this season. The right side hitter led PUC to the top seed for the playoffs. Doell is the MCAC men’s volleyball player of the year.
The Assiniboine College Cougars turned a rebuilding year into one of their most competitive seasons yet. Second-year head coach Dan Ashfield had a key role to play in it. Ashfield is the MCAC men’s volleyball coach of the year.
