Next stop, Winnipeg.

ItB次元官网网址檚 not Victoria, but it is the home of the national indoor volleyball program. And itB次元官网网址檚 the next home, albeit temporary, for the top womenB次元官网网址檚 university volleyball player in Canada Shanice Marcelle, recently named MVP of the CIS for the second time.

The Spectrum Community school grad is in a new frame of mind, having ended her CIS playing career with the UBC Thunderbirds with a fifth-straight national volleyball title two weeks ago.

Since then itB次元官网网址檚 been a whirlwind of catching up on studies.

B次元官网网址淚 (had) a midterm, group project, and quiz (last week). ItB次元官网网址檚 kind of strange just being a student, IB次元官网网址檓 grateful for my time as a Thunderbird,B次元官网网址� Marcelle said.

Marcelle will finish her kinesiology degree at UBC in a few weeks and head straight to national team tryouts.

SheB次元官网网址檚 also open to a return to the national beach volleyball program after a three-year hiatus. Indoor or outdoor, Marcelle will be on Canadian soil for the summer months only, before moving on to a launch a pro career in Europe.

B次元官网网址淎n agent will help me with that. IB次元官网网址檓 not sure where but, depending on the league, hopefully IB次元官网网址檒l get room and board covered, and some money on top of that.B次元官网网址�

ItB次元官网网址檚 another turn on the path which started when Marcelle first played volleyball as a Grade 6 student at McKenzie elementary school in Saanich.

Several of her ex-Thunderbirds teammates are already in Europe playing, so MarcelleB次元官网网址檚 chances are strong.

Marcelle was fourth in the Canada West in kills per set and points, sixth in hitting percentage and seventh in aces.

Jessica Von Schilling (Belmont) continues to represent Greater Victoria on the T-birds.

Marcelle's elder sister in the Camosun Chargers volleyball program and is now an aspiring make-up artist with film credits to her resume.
