Volleyball Aigles Bleues play Tigers and Reds

Université de Moncton Aigles Bleues (7-8=14pts,4th place) play two road games this weekend in Atlantic University Sport (AUS) women’s volleyball action.

The Bleu et Or lost its last two games. The team will travel to Halifax, Friday, to meet the top team, Dalhousie University Tigers (16-1=32pts, 1st position). Sunday, the Monette Boudreau-Carroll coached team play the fifth place University of New Brunswick Varsity Reds (3-15=6pts, 5th position), in the provincial capital.

The Aigles Bleues have clinched an AUS playoff berth and have five games left in regular season. The team will meet the top and last teams in the standings, in three days. The Reds won their first game of the season against Moncton (Feb. 1st) and have two more wins since. The Tigers recently suffered a first lost of the season, after 15 wins in a row.

‘’We will not reinvent the wheel at this time of the season,’’ coach Boudreau-Carroll said. ‘’These games will serve as practice for the AUS championship. We have a little less stress knowing we have a berth, but we know any team we meet there will be higher ranked than us. The challenge will be great.’’
