Women’s volleyball showcase recap

Bishop’s is loaded with a variety of athletic activities and teams. However, many people may not be aware that there is a women’s volleyball club on campus. On March 25, they had the chance to participate in the Quebec Cup that took place in Lasalle at Cégep André Laurendeau.
