Women's Volleyball
Sitting on a five game win streak, the Niagara College women's volleyball (5-0, 2nd West) program is now ranked 11th in the country, its highest ranking under the tender of head coach Joey Martins. The Knights will be putting their win streak on the line Friday, November 21st as they host the Conestoga Condors (1-5, 9th West).
The hot start by the Knights has been an entire team contribution, as they have implemented the 'next women up' mentality. A deep, talented roster has afforded the Knights the ability to overcome injuries and rest days without having to change their style of play.
Conestoga will be coming into the match off a loss from Cambrian College (2-4, 6th West), a team Niagara recently defeated. The Condors finished fourth in the West last season and despite their current losing record, are still a fundamentally sound program. The Knights lost both matchups against Conestoga last season 3-2 and 3-0.
