Шаблон:Infobox NCAA Tournament yearly The 2008 CIS Women's Volleyball Championship was held February 28, 2008 to March 1, 2008, in Fredericton, New Brunswick, to determine a national champion for the 2007–08 CIS women's volleyball season.[1] The tournament was played at the Aitken University Centre and was hosted by the University of New Brunswick. It was the first time that the University of New Brunswick had hosted the tournament.[2]
The fourth-seeded UBC Thunderbirds won a five-set gold medal match over the Montreal Carabins to win their first national championship since 1978.[1] UBC had won medals in seven of the previous 13 tournaments, but had fallen short of a gold medal win, including in 2005 and 2006 when they lost to Sherbrooke and Laval, respectively.[1] Notably, from this year's championship team, Carla Bradstock's and Kyla Richey's mothers were members of the 1978 Thunderbirds team that had last won a national championship for UBC.[1]
