MVB | Wesmen put conference season to bed with win, await playoff seeding

For now, at least, the Winnipeg Wesmen are in a top-three position in the Canada West conference.

What that looks like a week from now is anyone's guess, however, after the Wesmen took care of their business with a 3-1 (21-25, 25-18, 25-22, 25-19) Canada West conference win over Calgary Saturday at the Duckworth Centre.

The weekend sweep — which marked Winnipeg's fourth straight win — put the Wesmen at 15-9 on the season behind only Alberta and Mount Royal in the conference standings. The Wesmen, however, are the only team in the league to have already completed their 24-game conference slate, meaning their playoff fate is far from settled. 

Four other teams – Brandon, UBC, Saskatchewan and Trinity Western — sit within two games of the Wesmen and any number of combinations of results next weekend could greatly alter their final standing. 

For now, however, they did what they needed to do, winning all four matches in the month of February after going 4-4 in January. 

Isaiah Olfert had 18 kills with nine digs and hit .351 for the Wesmen, who still have a chance at a top-four placing and a chance to host the first round of playoffs. Nigel Nielsen, on his Senior Night, came up with 15 kills, six digs and four block assists. 

Alex Krykewich added 13 more digs — his sixth double-digit match of the season — to finish the season with a career-high 174, which ranks seventh in U Sports and second among setters. 

The Wesmen hit .336 for the match, the third time in the past four matches they've hit better than .300. Calgary was held to .139.

Louis Kunstmann led the Dinos (7-15), who had been eliminated from playoff contention, with 14 kills.
