Player Highlight: Seanna Trumier, Women’s Volleyball

December 2, 2025

Months remain in the collegiate career of Seanna Trumier, but most observers would assume it's just another year.

The fifth year libero will receive recognition for her accomplishments in a Rustler uniform next month during the team's senior athlete presentation on Jan. 31. However, when asked about how she feels heading into that moment, the ACAC All-Conference member said there's other thoughts on her mind.

"That's looking to the future, rather than enjoying the now," she said. "I'm just focused on being grateful and enjoying every single part of the experience."

"On the court, I'll just have to be steady with where I'm at as a player right now."

Trumier played libero as part of her participation at the 2022 Canada Summer Games and translated that into a stellar career at the position. Through four plus years of competition, largely as a starter, she has averaged 3 digs a set, peaking at 3.33 digs per set in 2024, her All-Star season.

Coach Austin Dyer noted the fifth year's ability to play with poise has been a grounding element for their team during this title run.

"Seanna's ability to stay level and not go through ups and downs while she plays has been incredible to watch," he said. "She is able to be steady in all moments in almost a stoic nature."

During the second title run, injuries forced Trumier to play on the left-side for the first semester, where she helped the team finish 8-1in nine matches. During preseason, she enjoyed some extended minutes back in the front row, before solidifying the libero position again.

"Getting to attack is great, but doing whatever the team needs is what my role is going to be," she said.

An athlete who leads by example rather than vocally making an impact, the fifth year vet said her surroundings have been ideal for her volleyball journey.

"There's been a lot of growth in different areas, leadership, skills, and we've become more as a unit as a group and learned what's important in our program," Trumier said. "You learn what's most important, that it's not about how you're playing, rather you're doing it for the older players on your team, trying to do your best for them."

"My teammates have helped me grow, that's been the most important thing, and our coaches have believed in us and had us working towards our full potential," she said. "Being competitive while showing care for each other is something that's stood out while here."

Part of that care is visible from Trumier in how she tricks the rest of the group. Dyer said that has kept the group on their toes.

"Our team will miss the prankster that Seanna is," he said. "She has brought a lot of light fun to our team. She is always scheming and working with her teammates on what next prank she will pull on her teammates or coaches."

In their first league match, Trumier hit her career average, posting 9 digs, along with solid work on serve receive, while the team rolled over another veteran squad in Ambrose. She said the group is encouraged heading into the winter break.

"It's a testament to how hard we've worked through the off-season," she said. "It was great to show what we've been doing and put it into practice."

Seanna Trumier will graduate with her Bachelor's in Education. She and the rest of the women's volleyball team kickoff the second half of the season on the road in Fort McMurray, where they face the Keyano Huskies. The next home matches for volleyball are Jan. 16 against the King's Eagles.
