1978-79 U of S Huskiette Volleyball Team
Volleyball (1992)

C.I.A.U. NATIONAL WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONS
The Huskiettes made history in 1978-79 when they became the first University of Saskatchewan volleyball team to win a Canadian Intercollegiate championship.

The victory was a tribute to coach mark Tennant, who came from Winnipeg in 1971 to take over the program. Within four years, he had won a Canada West title and within 10 years, a national title.

The jump in 1978-79 was rather dramatic because the Huskiettes climbed from a fourth-place team in the west to a national champion. They qualified for the national tournament at McMaster University, gained an important semi-final victory over McMaster and then beat York University, 15-11, 15-9, 14-16 and 15-8.
