The Mizuno Kootenay Chal lenge brought the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds and the University of Calgary Dinosaurs together for three exhibition games in three differ ent locations in as many days. “This match exposed people to some excellent volleyball action,” said Doug Hickey, from Stanley Humphries Secondary School. The series started Friday, at David Thompson Secondary School in Invermere and last year’s National Volleyball Champions, the University of Calgary Dinosaurs, cruised to a 3-0 win over UBC A different location and a dif ferent day worked out to the advantage of the UBC Thunder birds who took day two of the three day series at SHSS 3-1 Over 250 volleyball fans came together at SHSS to watch the Saturday night 4 acon In the firstfnatch the Dinosaurs continued what they Started in Invermere with an opening game score of 15-10, but that's where their steak ended UBC took the next game 15-5 and ran off a carbon copy taking another 15-5 game from the Dinos. It was all or nothing, and the University of Calgary team pulled out all the stops in a failed attempt to hold on to the series lifeline Bud Lowther wo ‘start the column this week Frank Steenvoor- da for a hole-in-one this past Coming in with the lowest score was the team of Mike Gorkoff, Walter Gorkoff and S.

The Dinosaurs jumped back into the lead as they took game three 15-12. Only. needing one more win to take the match and the series, U o fC could not accomplish that goal UBC had a different set of plans, and were more successful in fulfilling them, as they bounced back from the one game deficit to win the last two games, 15-9 and 15-12 “It was an exciting, excellent match,” said Mount Sentinel Senior Boys Volleyball Coach, Dave Olynyk With those wins also came the overall series victory for the Thunderbirds. While the Thunderbirds won the series, it was the fans and area volleyball players who were the winners in the long run. “It was a learning experience for our players who watched the games,” Hickey said Page 11A Calgary's Kevin Boyles (#15) mimics the SHSS mural as he meets a UBC player at the net.
