UFV women’s volleyball ranked #1 in CCAA; women’s basketball #2 in CIS; men #6

UFV’s women’s athletics teams are garnering national attention, as is the men’s basketball team.

The University of the Fraser Valley Cascades women’s volleyball team are ranked number one in the current CCAA (Canadian College Athletics Association) top ten poll.

The Cascades moved up two spots from third ranking last week. This marks the first time in the history of program (which was founded in 2004) that they are ranked number one in Canada.

“I am very happy for the players. They are receiving the recognition throughout the country they have earned,” commented head coach Dennis Bokenfohr. UFV is currently 11-1 and in first place in the Pacwest conference of the CCAA. The regular season resumes after the holiday break.
