The Sherbrooke Vert & Or are headed to the national championship match after outlasting the Brock Badgers in a dramatic five-set semifinal Saturday afternoon at the 2026 U SPORTS Women’s Volleyball Championship, presented by Booster Juice, at the Langley Events Centre.
Second-seeded Sherbrooke prevailed 3-2 (25-21, 23-25, 25-15, 21-25, 15-13) over the No. 3 seed Badgers in a tightly contested match between two conference champions.
Sherbrooke improved to 26-2 on the season (20-1 RSEQ) with the victory, while Brock fell to 21-4 (17-3 OUA).
After taking the opening set 25-21, the Vert & Or saw Brock respond with a narrow 25-23 win in the second to even the match. Sherbrooke regained control in the third, pulling away for a convincing 25-15 victory behind strong attacking from Jael-Esther Telfort and Britanie Maranda.
The Badgers refused to go quietly, however, forcing a decisive fifth set after claiming the fourth 25-21. Brock leaned on the offensive duo of Daryan Chadwick and Madison Tuck to extend the match and set up a dramatic finish.
In the deciding set, Sherbrooke steadied itself after an early exchange of points. The Vert & Or used timely blocking and steady serving to create separation before closing out the match 15-13 to punch their ticket to the national final.
Jael-Esther Telfort led Sherbrooke offensively with 16 kills, while Maranda added a team-high 17 kills and 18 digs in a strong all-around performance. Béatrice Dubreuil, named Sherbrooke’s player of the match, contributed 15 kills and four total blocks in the victory.
For Brock, Madison Tuck earned player-of-the-match honours after recording 14 kills and six block assists. Chadwick added 16 kills and 13 digs, while Charlotte Ross chipped in with 11 kills and five blocks.
Sherbrooke will face the Alberta Pandas in Sunday’s national championship match at 6 p.m. Pacific. The Vert & Or are seeking their first title since 2005, while Alberta has not taken home the banner since 2007.
Brock, for its part will play host Trinity Western in the bronze medal match earlier in the day at 2 p.m. Pacific.
