Rustlers head into the CCAA National Tournament as ACAC Champions once again.

CAMROSE, Alta. - In front of a sold-out crowd, the Lakeland Rustler took the University of Alberta - Augustana Vikings to school, 3-0 (25-15, 25-17, 25-17), securing another gold medal at the ACAC Women's Volleyball Championship, Sunday afternoon at Augustana Gym.

Claiming their fourth consecutive ACAC Championship title and fifth consecutive conference medal, the Rustlers will look to claim their fourth consecutive national title in two weeks time.

Meeting the Rustlers once again, a young Vikings squad fought valiantly to take home just their third ACAC medal in team history, their first being a silver medal against the Rustlers in 2023.
With Abby Ulrich from the Briercrest Clippers and Katie Nashim from the NAIT Ooks being named tournament all-stars earlier in the day, Vikings captain and setter Phaedra Bruens, right-side Ella Jarrett, Rustler setter Katelyn Mazurkewich, and middle blocker Raegan Nicol would close out the honours. Avery Bates would then be named the tournament's most valuable player.

Not done yet, both teams will travel to Otterburne, Manitoba as Providence University plays host to Canada's best for the 2026 CCAA Women's Volleyball National Championship from March 9-14
