"Laval came out much stronger this evening and I was pleased with how we responded," said UBC head coach
Doug Reimer. "I think our team feels good about how we are progressing in the preseason, although there is obviously a lot of room for improvement before league starts."
Lisa Barclay (Brandon, MB) led the team with 14 kills, while
Briana Liau Kent (Vancouver, BC) had 11 digs for UBC.
Shanice Marcelle (Victoria, BC) chipped in with eight kills and six digs.
UBC needed just nine sets to win all three games of its Quebec tour, defeating Montreal on Thursday, Oct. 11 before sweeping Laval twice yesterday and today.

There will be two games on on Saturday, Oct. 20 for UBC before the team hosts a match at War Memorial Gymnasium on Sunday, Oct. 21.
