Scouting Mount Royal

  • The Mount Royal Cougars enter the weekend series on a three game losing streak. The Cougars dropped a five set match at home to the Regina Cougars, before being swept by the Trinity Western Spartans on the road.

  • The road has been a problem for the Cougars, who are just 1-3 when away from Calgary.

  • The bulk of the Cougars offensive attack is from middle blocker Alex Donaghy, who leads the team in kills, points and service aces.
