“We are extremely pleased to have Chelsea joining our women's volleyball program this fall. She is a proven competitor with great team and individual skills. She is a leader on and off the floor, is capable and willing to play multiple positions and roles within and for the team. Chelsea had a number of opportunities to choose from for her post secondary education, but feels the University of Winnipeg is the right fit for her! Chelsea rounds out our youthful and athletic roster for this upcoming season, now we may move forward as a "team", said Wesmen Head Coach Diane Scott.
