University of New Brunswick Saint John will host the

2016 ACAA Men’s & Women’s Volleyball Championships

February 26^th-28^th, 2016

February 19th, 2016, SAINT JOHN NB: Some of the best university and college volleyball teams in Atlantic Canada will be coming to UNB Saint John to compete for the ACAA championships February 26^th-28^th, 2016.

Local youth, parents and community volleyball enthusiasts will see top-quality teams throughout the weekend. The UNB Saint John Seawolves Men’s Volleyball team is currently ranked 9^th in Canada and the MSVU Mystics Women’s Team and the Holland College Hurricanes Women’s Team are currently ranked 10^th and 14^th respectively. This is the first time in many years where it will come down to a battle in many games throughout championship weekend to take home the gold. The difference between walking away empty-handed and walking away with the ACAA banner could could be just a few small errors.

David Munro, Director of Athletics, Recreation & Wellness at UNB Saint John says, “the ACAA men's and women's volleyball championship weekend is the premier event in the ACAA. The top teams are highly competitive this year and will be giving everything they have to take the championship banner back to their own institution.”

Tickets are now available for purchase at the UNB Saint John Athletics Department and will also be available at the door on game days.
