Brother and sister Colin Fraser and Mandi Fraser from the University of Saskatchewan Huskies were both named Canada West conference all-stars Tuesday.

Colin Fraser, a graduating fifthyear outside hitter, was named a Canada West second-team all-star. He finished the season with 269 kills to give him 984 for his university career, fourth in the Huskies’ all-time record book. He also served a team-high 22 aces.

Mandi Fraser, who played in 22 matches during her rookie season, was named to the Canada West women’s all-rookie team. She finished third on the Huskies in blocks per set (0.67) and ended the season with 77 kills and 39 blocks.

Meanwhile, former U Sports rookie of the year Dylan Mortensen from the Huskies was also named a Canada West men’s second-team all-star.

Mortensen led the U of S team with 304 kills in 22 games, a total that was good enough to place him fourth in the conference.
