UBC libero and Hamber graduate Briana Liau Kent is competing for a spot on Canadas national volleyball roster this week at an open selection camp. The fourth-year five-foot-six defensive specialist was invited to national team try-out, which continues until Thursday at the University of Manitoba.
Liau Kent had 208 digs for UBC this season and led the Thunderbirds with an average 2.77 digs per set as UBC won its sixth consecutive Canadian Interuniversity Sport womens volleyball championship.
Thunderbirds Shanice Marcelle, a power hitter twice named the most valuable player in CIS womens volleyball, as well as outside hitter Lisa Barclay were also invited to try out.
The final roster will be determined on or around May 23, according to Volleyball Canada. The first competition of the year will be in June at the Pan American Cup hosted by Peru.
