The University of Regina's women's volleyball team completed a weekend sweep over UBC Okanagan with a straight-sets win over the Heat on Saturday night in Kelowna.

It looked as though the Cougars were well on their way to a decisive win in the first set after taking a 24-16 lead, but the improbable nearly happened. UBC Okanagan reeled off nine consecutive points with Katy Klomps serving to take a 25-24 lead, but a Klomps service error followed by a Heat attack error and a Tiffany Herman ace gave the U of R a 27-25 win.

The Cougars followed up their first set victory with a 25-22 win in the second and clinched their fourth Canada West win of the season with a 25-17 victory in the third.

Meagan Onstad led the Cougars (4-12) with 13 kills and added seven digs, while Herman had 36 assists and Roxanne Olynyk led all players with 15 digs. Olynyk and Chelsea Ziolkowski both added nine kills and Michelle Sweeting had eight kills and a .438 hitting percentage.

Alex Basso led UBC Okanagan with nine kills, while Kailin Jones had 12 digs for the Heat and Chandler Proch had 32 assists.

The Cougars hit the road next weekend for two games against Alberta (11-5) in Edmonton and finish the Canada West schedule at home against Calgary on Feb. 10 and Feb. 11.
