After a week away, the Trinity Western Spartans have reclaimed their spot as the best women’s volleyball team in the nation.
The Spartans (18-2), who had held the No.1 ranking all season before dropping to second spot last week, jumped back in the lead after conceding just one set in back-to-back victories over UBC (8-10). Trinity Western hosts Brandon (4-14) for a pair of matches this weekend.
In other U SPORTS rankings, UNB (men’s hockey) Concordia (women’s hockey), Carleton (men’s basketball), Saskatchewan (women’s basketball), Trinity Western (men’s volleyball), Calgary (men’s swimming), UBC (women’s swimming), Guelph (men’s and women’s track and field), Alberta (men’s wrestling) and Brock (women’s wrestling) remain at No.1 for another week.
For the second straight season, U SPORTS is using the ELO Rating System for the calculation of its weekly national rankings. Powered by RankR, ELO’s unique algorithm blends a statistical calculation with customized variables that is adaptable across a range of sports. For more information, click here.
