The 2023 U Sports Women's Volleyball Championship was held March 17–19, 2023, in Vancouver, British Columbia, to determine a national champion for the 2022–23 U Sports women's volleyball season.[2] [3] In a match between the two most recent champions, the host UBC Thunderbirds defeated the top-seeded Trinity Western Spartans to win the program's 13th national championship.[4] [5]
