The Briercrest volleyball teams ended the first semester with sweeps of Olds College.

This also vaulted the Briercrest women's volleyball team into a program high CCAA ranking of 5th in the CCAA. This is the highest ranking that the team has reached since joining the ACAC.

The men's volleyball team's sweep of winless Olds brought them back to .500 with a record of 6-6 and keeps them within striking distance of third and fourth place SAIT and Lethbridge who have identical 7-5 records.
