LANGLEY, B.C. – Trinity Western opened its preseason schedule with a 3-0 (25-16, 25-17, 25-14) win over Fraser Valley Thursday at the Lightning Athletics Centre at Langley Christian School's middle school. 

QUOTABLE
Ryan Hofer, TWU Head Coach 
"It was super exciting that we could partner with LCS and UFV and host a preseason exhibition match in their new gymnasium. It's a wonderful facility. We're super grateful that they reached out and wanted to host us. It's great to play an opponent different than ourselves. I thought our team brought a lot of composure, focus and energy to the floor. I loved how we were quick to solve problems, fix communication errors, and support one another on and off the court."
