Alexa Gray tallied 22 points, while Kiera Van Ryk added 20 to help the Canadian women's indoor volleyball team edge Turkey 3-1 (25-22, 21-25, 25-22, 25-23) in Calgary on Tuesday for their fourth Volleyball Nations League win of the season.

Hilary Howe, who — like Gray — was playing in her hometown, had 14 points for Canada (4-5). Ebrar Karakurt led Turkey (5-4) with 23.

The Canadian squad has already surpassed its 2021 win count. Last year, Canada produced a disappointing 3-12 record in the tournament, held in a bubble in Rimini, Italy. "We haven't hosted a tournament in a long time, and to win at home in such an important match for us it's huge.

It can't be overstated," said captain Jennifer Cross of Scarborough, Ont., who had five points, in a post-game interview. "We talked about playing one game at a time, and I think that really showed.
