The Wesmen family is growing, with men’s and women’s teams competing in volleyball,
soccer, basketball, wrestling, and baseball (men). Significantly, our men’s and women’s
soccer teams have been accepted into the Canadian Interuniversity Sport - Canada West
Conference, a move that means they are now playing at the most competitive level for
university athletes.
The women’s volleyball team had a great year and made it all the way to the Canada West
Final Four. Head coach Diane Scott was named the Canada West and CIS Women’s
Volleyball Coach of the Year.
It was a very successful year for the College Wesmen teams, winning a combined three
league titles. The men’s and women’s soccer teams each won their second consecutive
Manitoba Collegiate Athletics Conference championships. Mick Gale was named the MCAC
Women’s Soccer Coach of the Year.
The College Wesmen men’s volleyball team, competing for the first time, knocked off the five-time defending champions from Red River College to win the MCAC Men’s Volleyball title. Head coach Josh Thordarson was named the MCAC Men’s Volleyball Coach of the Year. Former Wesmen great JoAnne Small (formerly Wells) led the Collegiate Girls Basketball team to their third consecutive Provincial Championship.
