MUSCLE MLK ATHLETE OF THE WEEK



Fifth-year outside hitter Rosie Schlagintweit had a sparkling all-round weekend for the UBC Thunderbirds, who swept their Canada West quarter-final series 2-0 in Calgary against the Dinos.
 
The T-Birds turned the tables on the hosts as just two weeks ago, UBC travelled to Calgary in regular season play and lost both matches.
 
Schlagintweit led her team with 18 kills in a come-from-behind 3-2 victory in Game 1 on Friday. The Abbotsford, B.C., native had 18 kills and just two attack errors. She also recorded 12 digs and seven block assists.
 
Then in Game 2 on Saturday, Schlagintweit posted 13 kills, again with just two errors, nine digs and three block assists in a four-set, series-clinching victory.
 
Over the two matches, Schlagintweit had 31 kills, 21 digs and 10 block assists. She had an impressive .422 hitting percentage.
 
UBC will face the Canada West hosts and regular season league champions Alberta in the first match of the conference semifinals in Edmonton on Friday night.
