Matt Stubler Commits to Men’s Volleyball Program
Wednesday, March 25, 2009 – The University of Winnipeg is pleased to announce the commitment of Miles MacDonnell’s Matt Stubler to the Men’s Volleyball program for the 2009-2010 season.
Stubler, a powerful 6’4” left side player and “A” average
student was a member of the Buckeyes squad that captured the 2008 Provincial
AAAA High School Championship where his all round play earned him the Most
Valuable Player award. In 2008 Matt was named to the All-Manitoba Team as well
as a Manitoba Volleyball Association Graduating All-Star. This past summer Matt
was a member of Team Manitoba that won a bronze medal at the National Team
Challenge Cup in Longueuil, Quebec. In 2007 he was a member of Team Manitoba
that won the gold medal at the Western Canada Summer Games.
"Matt has been a top player in his
age category since he began playing. Following his older brother Jeremy, Matt
continues the Stubler family history of excellence in volleyball. He is a
strong student who has the ability to play university volleyball immediately.
Along with Devin Schmidt, Kenny McKenzie and fellow Miles Mac teammate Matt
Schriemer, Matt Stubler will be part of a strong young homegrown group of
student-athletes in our program that all have their origin here in Manitoba,”
added Wesmen Head Coach Larry McKay.
