In just her first year as a college volleyball player, Dauphin's Renee Desroches already achieved a big accomplishment.
Desroches was named to the Conference All-Star Team and is one of just five ladies in the entire league to be named to the Team.
"It's truly an honour," said Desroches. "I'm so fortunate to have played with such a great group of ladies this season. And, our coaching was top notch. It means a lot to me."
The first-year Dauphin native had quite the high school volleyball career leading up to college and says this accolade will help her going forward.
"It's definitely a confidence booster," said Desroches. "It's a great recognition, and I'm just honoured that I got the chance to play college volleyball this season, and I can't wait for next season.
Renee and the rest of the CMU Blazers advanced to the Championship final in the MCAC this year but fell in the finals to Providence.
"Our season was a lot of fun," said Desroches. "We had a lot of talent on our team, and we battled hard every game. Obviously, we couldn't finish it out, but we're hoping for a better result next season."
Desroches notes the best part about playing college volleyball is getting to play with new ladies, and make friendships while playing at a very high level.
