his year's incarnation of
| the DC womenr’s
volleyball team heads into

the season with their eyes on a
provincial championship.

Led by second year head coach
Sue Sharp and last year’s DC
Rookie of the Year Christine
Bonish, the Royals-are set to take
apart the BCCAA and possibly
the entire nation. “We're at least
top three [in the BCCAA]” said
coach Sharp, “Malaspina’s always
good, so is OUC””

The OUC Lakers, as well as the
arch-rival Malaspina Mariners,
will top the Royals hit list this

  
   
 
  
  
 
  
  
 
 

costs over $100,000 a year to »
maintain this place,’ said
Amanda Wheeler, indicating the
Student Building. “If this fee is
ratified we will be able to offer
more to the students here [in the
DCSS building].” Under the
proposed system, the 18% that is
supposed to go to Athletics will
go back to the DCSS building,

year as our team looks to avenge a
loss to the Lakers in the BCCAA
finals last year. “The match
[against OUC] was significant,”
coach Sharp said in a recent
interview. “We were playing like
we were afraid to lose, but we
were still learning. This year we're
playing to win.”

Two players that were a big part
of the Royals success last year,
Vesna Rukavina and Becki
Kosinski, are gone from this year’s
team, both having used up their
eligibility. Coralie Hemstra,
Christine Bonish and Sabrina
Kaltenbach, along with talented
freshman Harninder Reel, will be
attempt to fill the holes left by

e a ‘E

allowing the Student Society to
keep the building maintained,
while the Athletic Department is
still able to offer all of the
activities that are currently
available to students. “This is a
good situation for everyone
involved,” said Kelli Semple.
“The students get their activities,
the DCSS gets their money and

  

these two fantastic athletes, both
of whom were first team all-BC
last year.

On offense this year, look for the
Royals to work the middle more
than they did last year. With
Christine Bonish and Corralee
Hemstra roaming the front of the
net, this year's Royals should
surprise a lot of teams who will
be looking for attacks to come
from the traditional outside
positions,

It should be a good season for the
women's team, who, by this time
next year, should be preparing to
defend the BCCAA crown.

...continued from cover Athletic fees

we get our money. It's win-win-
win.”

“T would like to keep our ath-
letic program,” said Lou Rene
Legge. “We have one of the best,

_ in fact for the last two years the

best out of all 13 colleges [in the
BCCAA]. It would be a shame to
lose it. We've worked hard.”.
