Mountaineer varsity highlights - March 4

The regular season is winding down for the Mountaineers basketball and volleyball teams with playoffs set to take place next week.

Both Mohawk women’s and men’s volleyball teams maintained a presence in the CCAA National Rankings, with the women guaranteed to host a playoff game in the David Braley Athletic and Recreation Centre. Mountaineer women remain ranked sixth in the country for the third straight week and the men moved up one spot to number 11.

On the basketball court, the women’s team is in the hunt to host a playoff game, as well, after splitting their two games this week. Men’s basketball saw one of their three games get cancelled, while they split the remaining two.

The Mountaineers also celebrated a few graduating athletes on March 2: Theresa Wylie and Brooke Turner of women’s basketball; Austin Segato from men’s soccer; and Matt Foster of men’s basketball.
