Beach volleyball
The Canadian beach volleyball championships last weekend featured a trio of St. Albert players.
Jae-Lyn Visscher and Whitney Follette, a pair of volleyball products of the Paul Kane Blues, competed in the senior nationals at the Canor Sand Centre in North Bay, Ont. and Kylie Morrison of the St. Albert Skyhawks teamed up with Edyn Aasman of Red Deer at the youth nationals in Ottawa.
Visscher and Follette combined to win three out of five matches (7 SW/4 SL, 209 PF/193 PA) as one of 13 teams in division one after going undefeated on the tournament circuit this summer.
Both players have NCAA division one beach volleyball experience with Jacksonville State University Gamecocks for Visscher and the Arizona State University Sun Devils for Follette.
Morrison and Aasman finished 5-2 (10 SW/4 SL, 277 PF/191 PA) in the 32-team U16 division one tournament.
