Three Trinity Western University volleyball players from the Tri-Cities have been named Canada West Universities Athletic Association all-stars.

TWU women’s team setter Nikki Cornwall of Coquitlam and middle Katie Devaney of Port Coquitlam are first-team all-stars while the men’s team’s Ryan Sclater was tagged as a second-team all-star.

For Cornwall and Devaney, the honours mark the first time they’ve been named Canada West all-stars while Sclater was a second-team all-star last season.

The third-year Cornwall, who was named to the all-rookie team in 2013/’14, led the CIS in assists per set this year, with 10.45. Her assists-per-set tally marked the second best season in TWU’s program history, bettered only by Anna Paddock, who averaged 10.52 per set in 2005/’06. 

Devaney, who is in her third year, was second in the conference in both hitting percentage, at .317, and blocks per set, at 1.25. She helped TWU to a conference-leading 2.74 blocks per set.

TWU left side Sclater put together the most impressive statistical offensive season in the Spartans’ program history. His 4.07 kills per set in the regular season marked the highest average ever recorded by a TWU men’s volleyball player. The fourth-year outside had 14 or more kills in 15 of his team’s 24 matches.
