Coach Pischke Closing in on Milestone with Bisons

January 20, 2012 7:26 AM | Sports


University of Manitoba Bisons coach Garth Pischke is coming up on a milestone in his seasoned career coaching the men’s volleyball team. Now in his 31st season, Pischke is closing in on his 1,200th overall career win heading into this weekend.

Watch:

The Bisons travel to UBC to play the Thunderbirds (8-4) tonight and Saturday, where the Herd enters at 11-1. For Pischke, history will be in his favour, as he holds a record of 44-15 against UBC.

It’s the first time this season the two teams will meet in Canada West action. The Bisons defeated UBC last season in a two-game sweep at home and haven’t played on the Thunderbirds’ turf since the 2009-10 season.

Fans in Winnipeg can watch the games live online at CanadaWest.TV beginning at 10 p.m. CT.
