Ben Chow reached double digits in kills both Friday and Saturday night to lead the UBC men’s volleyball team to a series sweep of Regina and a fifth place finish in the Canada West regular season schedule.

The fourth-year Kinesiology student finished with 10 kills and two service aces, while accumulating a team best 13.5 points in the Thunderbirds 3-0 (25-16, 25-17, 25-15) victory over Regina on Friday night.

The following evening, the 2013-14 CIS First Team All-Canadian, had 11 kills and eight digs in another straight sets win against the Cougars (25-21, 25-15, 25-18).

Chow leads the Thunderbirds this season in kills per set, averaging 3.10.

With the victory Chow and the Thunderbirds (13-11) finished fifth in the Canada West and will now head to Winnipeg to take on the University of Manitoba (14-10) in a best-of-three Canada West quarter-final. The two teams split their regular season match up earlier this season.
