Dalcanale named coach of
year, takes team to finals

The close of February was double-good for Douglas College Women’s
Volleyball coach Dave Dalcanale.

Just days after learning he had been selected BCCAA Coach of the Year,
Dalcanale’s team captured the B.C. championship with a 15-13, 10-15, 5-15,
15-5, 15-6 victory over the Malaspina Mariners in Kelowna on February 25.

The performance marked the second time the team had reached the
championship round in Dalcanale’s eight seasons as coach, and the first time
his team had won the gold medal. Helping lead the way in the Royals triumph
was All-Canadian Sasha Klunder, who was selected as tournament MVP.

 

Dave Dalcanale, Doulgas College Women’s Volleyball coach, was
named B.C.C.A.A. Coach of the Year for 1994/95 by his coaching
peers around the province in February.

For Dalcanale, winning the title was especially satisfying after last-season’s
17-1 Royals team was upset in the championship semifinal.

“Tt feels great and I’m so happy for the team, especially for the second-year
players who were back from last season,” says Dalcanale, who now leads the
Royals to the national championships in Edmonton in March.

Elsewhere, the news wasn’t as good in men’s basketball for two-time
defending B.C. champions Douglas College. Playing in the semifinal playoff
round, the Royals lost a 102-101 double-overtime heartbreaker to the Langara
Falcons and then faded 81-67 in the second game to lose the best-of-three
series 2-0,

In badminton, Douglas College hosted the B.C. playoffs on February 25-26
and took second place behind Malaspina. &
