The Winnipeg Wesmen have been rewarded with a home playoff date for their best season in nearly 20 years.

Emma Parker shone on Senior Night with 21 kills and a season-high 19 digs, and the Wesmen women's volleyball team scored a 3-1 (25-22, 24-26, 26-24, 27-25) Canada West conference win over the Saskatchewan Huskies Saturday night at the Duckworth Centre.

It was Winnipeg's 18th win in 24 conference matches and gave the Wesmen a home playoff series next weekend. The fourth-seeded Wesmen will welcome the 5-seed Fraser Valley Cascades for a best-of-three series that kicks off Friday at 7 p.m.

It will mark the first time since 2011-12 the Wesmen have hosted a home playoff, and their .750 win percentage matches that of the 2004-05 team that went 15-5 for Winnipeg's best win percentage of the 21st century.

The Wesmen posted a season-high 113 digs with Taylor Cangemi matching a career-high with 25. The team total is the most since the Wesmen had 141 in an epic five-setter with MacEwan in January 2020, and it's the most in a four-set match since registering 121 against Brandon in January 2014. 

Ashleigh Laube, another fifth-year senior who came in with Parker as part of a heralded 2017 recruiting class, also showed out in her final conference match at home. She had a career-high 23 digs along with 10 kills and three aces. Taylor Kleysen, another Class of '17 recruit, had five kills, a solo block and three block assists.

Kely Warmington, Haille Bujan and Mikaela Cameron were also recognized as part of Senior Night. Warmington had nine kills, seven digs and three BA's; Bujan finished with three kills; and Cameron made her first start of the season and registered five first-set digs as a libero. 

Five players registered double-digit digs for the Wesmen: Setter Portia Switzer added 13 as well as 52 assists, two off her career-high, and Selva Planincic added 14. 

The Huskies (10-14) were led by Julia Howell-Bourner, Mandi Fraser and Andjela Dikic, each of whom had nine kills.
