Andrew Korol was a vocal leader and fiery competitor with the Bobcat men's volleyball team. The East Selkirk, Man. product joined Brandon for their first-ever Canada West season in 2005-06 and played a vital role in the program's rise to greatness in the seasons to follow.
Korol adjusted well to his new setting in BU's inaugural year. He finished among the nation's leaders in assists at 8.77 per-set, good for 12th in the country.
Two seasons later, Korol led Canada West in assists per-game and helped the Bobcats secure their first-ever playoff spot in 2007-08. The following season, he once again was tops in the league in assists and guided BU back to the post-season where they advanced to nationals for the first-time.
At nationals, Korol had a match-high 40 assists and 11 digs as Brandon won the third-place match against the McMaster Marauders to capture their first-ever national bronze medal. For his efforts, Korol was named a tournament all-star.
After completing his university career, Korol played professionally overseas in France and Germany. He then transitioned to teaching and coaching, having served as an assistant with the BU women's team for three years. He continues to help grow the game, coaching in the club system in western Manitoba.
