# 2014 CIS Women's Volleyball Championship

The 2014 CIS Women's Volleyball Championship was held from February 28, 2014 to March 2, 2014, in Regina, Saskatchewan, to determine a national champion for the 2013–14 CIS women's volleyball season. The tournament was played at the Centre for Kinesiology, Health & Sport (CKHS) at the University of Regina. It was the first time that the University of Regina had hosted the tournament.
The second-seeded Manitoba Bisons defeated the six-time defending champion and top-seeded UBC Thunderbirds in the gold-medal match as they won the seventh title in program history. The Bisons swept all three of their opponents during this tournament and won their first championship since 2002. The loss frustrated the Thunderbirds' attempt to win a record-breaking seventh consecutive championship as they finished tied with the Winnipeg Wesmen (1983-1988) and Alberta Pandas (1995-2000) with six straight wins from 2008 to 2013.
