Both men and women teams of Langley’s Trinity Western have reached the playoffs to compete for the Canada West volleyball championship title.

After two weeks of intense action, only four teams from each category remain in the volleyball playoffs.

Round Two over the weekend saw versatile, adapt-on-the-fly gameplay doubled with dramatic victories and seesaw thrillers for women volleyball.

From six to four, the field has been trimmed for men’s volleyball, too. Players delivered a weekend of dominant performances, come-from-behind victories and flashy displays, setting the stage for an intense final four.
