Student-athletes from Morden Collegiate Institute in Morden, Manitoba, celebrated a series of victories on February 1, 2026. The school’s soccer and volleyball teams, known as the Thunder, recorded multiple wins that help solidify their positions in the local Zone 4 AAA league standings.
According to the MHSAA Official Scores Portal, these results come at a critical time as teams prepare for the winter playoffs in Zone 4. The wins are expected to improve Morden’s seeding for the upcoming provincial qualifying tournaments, which typically begin in early March.
Athletic Director Nicole Rutledge noted the school’s sports programs continue to grow with help from community coaches and volunteers. “We couldn’t do this without community coaches that want to volunteer and staff that are willing to put in the hours, and then the support of our administration and division,” Rutledge said. These latest scores keep the Morden Thunder in a competitive spot against rivals Garden Valley Collegiate (Winkler) and W.C. Miller Collegiate (Altona).
Local fans can expect more action as soccer (often played indoors in Manitoba in February) and volleyball matches influence seeding and potential home-court advantage for the next round of games. The school’s athletic department remains focused on balancing schoolwork with high-level competition as the season moves toward its peak.
